SHADE TREES 
To have healthy, sturdy Shade Trees, it is necessary for the trees to grow in soil suitable to their needs, to be transplanted frequently 
to improve root systems and to be pruned in order to encourage shapely growth. Here at Rosedale we do these things systematically 
so that you will receive fine, sturdy stock. In addition, we are particularly careful to plant our trees far enough apart in wide-spaced 
rows to permit lateral as well as upright growth. We grow only those varieties which 
will thrive in this climate. 
As an aid to your planning, we again make a few suggestions as to classifying these trees according to characteristics which when 
known might be helpful.

B&B means ‘Balled and Burlapped” where this 
is not indicated, trees will be dug bare root. If it is 
desired that they be dug B&B, an additional 
charge will be made. 
PLANTING BARE ROOT MATERIAL 
1. Plant at once, digging hole deep and wide 
enough to admit roots completely spread out. 
2. Loosen soil at bottom of hole and mix with 
a small amount of Driconure. 
3. Place plant in hole the same depth as pre- 
viously planted in nursery. (Shows on trunk or 
main stem.) 
4. Cover roots with soil mixed with liberal 
amounts of Driconure, firming soil with feet. 
5. Complete filling hole with soil leaving catch 
basin effect at top to hold water. 
6. Water thoroughly twice a week. 
For planting B&B material, please see 
directions on page 5.
