PLANTING GUIDE 
Allegheny Evergreens are packed in such fashion 
that they reach you in perfect condition. When they 
arrive it is best, of course, to get them into the 
ground @g soon as you can, but it isn’t mecessary to 
drep everything and plant them at once. Dig a little 
trench about five or six inches deep. Place the roots 
of the tiny trees in the trench, spaced rather thinly, 
and let them lean at an angie of about forty degrees 
with their tops toward the sun. Cover with molst 
earth to within two or three inches of the top. A 
eool, shady spot in moist earth is ideal. I? your soil 
ta dry be careful not to water too heavily. Excessive 
moisture may cause them to overheat. Trecs proper- 
ly heeled in’ in this manner need not be planted 
for several days. . but get them into the ground as 
soon as you conveniently can. Never let roots dry 
aut from the time received until planted. 
Planting Distances and Number of Trees per Acre 
For: forest planting the trees are usually spaced 
four, five or six feet apart. If less than four feet 
apart the trees will tend to crowd each other as they 
approach maturity. If planted more than six feet 
apert the trees will have a tendency to grow “limby.” 
Yor the customary spacing for forest planting the 
aumber of trees required is as follows: 
4x4 feet-—2,720 per acre. 4x4 spacing is beat 
for Christmas tree growing, species of Spruce and 
Fir, 6x5 feet-—-1,720 per acre 
6x@ feet—1,210 per acre is best spacing for Pines. 
WHEN TO PLANT 
The best tine to plant is in early spring after snow 
disappears, just as the frost gets out of the ground. 
After the ground {s free from frost, any time Is plant- 
tng time for the next several weeks. And there ts 
@nother fine planting period in the fall. September 
‘and October are almost always fine for planting, and 
even the later part of August after an average moder- 
ate summer. There are just two things to watch ont 
for tn fall planting. After @ prolonged dry spell re- 
member that hot dry sol] is unkind to even the beat 
ef tiay trees. Wait for your soil to become temper- 
ed with moisture. And if you consider late planting 
after a rainy spell just bear in mind that heavy soil 
is liable to “heave.” You can readily appreciate 
what heaving of the soil will do to tender roots of 
tiny trees. 
PLANTING METHODS 
Two men work to best advantage in planting small 
tracts. The first one makes the holes with a grubb- 
ing-hoe or mattock. The other one follows with the 
tiny trees, their roots immersed in a pail of mud and 
water. In each hole plant a tree, slightly deeper 
in the ground than it stood in the nursery. Be sure 
every tiny tree is set firmly in the soil. You can 
not plant them too firmly. It is important that after 
the tiny trees are taken from the ‘‘heeling-in” trench 
their roots are not allowed to become dry. Keep 
them immersed in mud every minute until planted. 
lt isn’t necessary to prepare the ground in any way 
before planting. Just dig the holes and set in the 
tiny trees. For more extensive panting a crew of 
five works most effectively. Two men precede, dig- 
ging the holes in parallel rows at proper intervals. 
The third follows with his mudpail containing the 
tiny trees. He hands the tree, as needed to the two 
men bringing up the rear who plants them firmly to 
the proper depth. It takes longer to tell about it 
than it does to do {t. 
CHRISTMAS TREE PLANTING 
When planting for Christmas-tree profits the trees 
most widely used for best results are Norway Spruce, 
White Spruce, Douglas Fir, Balsam Fir, Scotch Pine, 
Red Pine, White Pine and Colorado Spruce. If you 
aie accessible to a market for three foot “table trees" 
you can plant your tiny trees as close as 2x2 feet. 
For fullgrown seven-foot Christmas trees the best 
spacing is 4x4 feet. Closer spacing will force the 
trunk-growth and make the joints betweet branch- 
rings too long to command the top price for attrac- 
tive Christinas trees. If you are reasonably near a 
large city where a market exists for “table-treea” you 
can make your land do double duty. Plant your tiny 
trees with the two-foot “‘table-tree’” spacing. When
