Planting Directions 
The fine rootlets of the young trees are very 
delicate and may be seriously injured even by a 
few minutes exposure to the sun or drying winds.

the roots without cramping them. The roots are 
inserted in the hole, spread out and loose soil 
tamped with the hands. The tree should be set up- 
right and planted to the same depth at which it 
grew in the nursery. This depth is indicated by 
eS of light bark around the tree at ground 
evel. 
A test of proper planting is to give each tree 
a slight tug after setting. If the tree pulls up, 
it is not properly set. Failure to set the tree 
firmly and at the right depth usually results in 
stunting or death.

Before the ground freezes solidly, an especially 
good watering should be given. This freezes the 
roots wet and prevents the drying out of the 
foliage. Even during the winter, if there is no 
snow on the ground, an occasional watering should 
be given. If the Spring is dry, watering should
