How to Plant 
A Fruit Tree 
Dig the hole large enough to accommo- 
date the roots without crowding. Cultivate 
one pound of bone meal into the bottom of 
the hole. Set the tree so that the graft is 
at least an inch above the level of the soil. 
Remove all broken roots. Then fill in with 
peat moss and. top soil around them. When 
the hole is half filled with soil, pour in a 
bucket of water which will help to firm the 
soil around the roots, and provide mois- 
/ ture. After the water has penetrated, the 
“hole can be filled level with the ground. 
Tramp the new soil firmly, and water again. 
When planting fruit trees provide for a 
depression around the tree to catch water. 
Water once per week until the tree is in 
full leaf. Then water twice per month. In. 
the summer you can mulch the tree with 
well decomposed: manure. 
Be suresyour fruit trees are trimmed 
during the winter months, and sprayed with 
Lime Sulphur or Bordo Mixture.

Family Orchard 
ae Ina Site 15 Foot Square 
Many of our customers with a limited 
amount of space have had all the fruit they 
want and still it takes only a very small 
space. 
>This is how they do it. Select 3 or 4 fruit 
trees of your own choice. Dig a hole 3 foot 
in diameter and place all trees in the same 
hole and plant according to the instruc- 
tions “How to Plant a Fruit Tree.” All of 
these trees will grow and produce all the 
fruit a family can use. 
A good selection is Apricot, Plum, 
Peach early and late. Ask the salesman 
how to trim for best results.
