A Few Hints as to Times and 
How to Plant Trees 
TIME TO PLANT 
Experience has taught us that best results are usually ob- 
tained from Spring planting — March 25th to June 1st. 
CARE OF TREES UPON ARRIVAL 
Your trees are worthy of the best of care. After receiving 
your shipment unpack immediately and remove all of the pack- 
ing material. The roots should not be exposed to the sunlight 
and drying winds. Dig a trench deep enough to hold the roots 
and long enough to hold all the trees, in a place convenient 
to the planting site and if possible in a shaded location such as 
the North side of a building or woodlot and near a supply of 
water. Place the roots in the bottom of the trench and fill in 
fine moist soil then pack it firmly about the roots to exclude 
the air. If the ground is dry moisten the earth around the roots. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Experience has taught us that it is not necessary to prepare 
the soil in any way before planting, as the additional expense 
is not justified and we find that the grass and weeds prove a 
benefit in conserving the moisture and a shade during the first 
few years after planting. Do not use any kind of fertilizer on 
the soil. 
In planting trees three men work well together, one man 
digs the holes with a mattock, the other two follow with 
buckets of trees immersed in soupy mud until planted. After 
digging a hole deep enough to accommodate the roots be care- 
ful and spread the roots out, then pack good fine soil around 
them which will insure success. 
One man may work to good advantage. Carry the trees in 
a bucket. With a swing of the mattock make a slit in the 
ground. Hold slit open with mattock, insert roots, remove mat- 
tock and pack ground firmly with heel. 
When trees are planted too close together, they crowd and 
the resulting competition speeds the height growth and tends 
to make a poor Christmas tree. Many different Opinions are 
offered on tree spacing. Four feet by four feet spacing requires 
2720 trees to the acre and may be used where thinning is con- 
templated at a comparatively young age. Five feet by five feet 
spacing requires 1740 trees to the acre and is most generally 
used as it allows for the Christmas tree thinning and will still 
leave a good stand of timber. Six feet by six feet spacing re- 
quires 1210 trees per acre and is recommended where trees are 
planted for forestry products and thinning is intended for 
Christmas trees.
