SALESMEN must teach customers how to successfully plant 
nursery stock: 
Call for stock on delivery day. 
Soak 24 hours to 40 hours in water before planting. 
Prune the tips off the roots. 
Plant in roomy holes, add gravel if drainage is poor. 
Tramp the ground firmly around the roots. 
Do not put manure in the holes. 
Water amply before and after planting. 
Cut limbs back on all stock except Cut Leaf Birch, Ever- 
greens, 5-in-1 Apples. 
Mulch trees heavily with grass or straw on top of the ground 
to keep the moisture in the soil. 
Fruit. Mountain Ash, all Elm except American, Schwedleri & 
Norway Maple Trees must be wrapped with paper for winter 
protection. 
Spray fruit trees each year. 
Keep out weeds and cultivate ground.
