“THE USE OF FERTILIZERS’—NEVER PUT FERTILIZER OR ANYTHING BUT GOOD SOIL IN 
THE HOLE AROUND THE ROOTS. Either partly rotted manure or high nitrogen fertilizers may 
be used as a side dressing at planting time if kept away from the base of the tree. If high nitrogen 
fertilizers are used, use only about one handful per 6-ft. tree (other trees use proportionately), 
spreading evenly around the outer branches at least 12 inches away from the trunk of the tree. 
For Berry Plants, etc., broadcast fertilizer evenly in the middle of the rows. Apply in fall or early 
spring before bloom.
