Planting Instructions 
Nursery stock, the same as farm seeds or 
flower seeds, responds readily to well pre- 
pared fertile soil. You would not expect to 
get results by planting corn, potatoes or 
’ flower seeds in sod. Prepare your soil for 
nursery stock the same as you would for 
any other farm or garden product. 
Prepare the soil by deep spading or plow- 
ing. Have it mellow and well fertilized. 
(Never put fertilizer of any kind so that it 
comes in direct contact with the roots of the 
tree or plant. Except Ra-Pid-Gro—see cata- 
log page 36.) 
SHADE TREES 
PLANTING: Dig a hole, large enough to 
accommodate the roots without crowding. 
The hole should be a little deeper than is 
necessary to plant the tree as deep as it was 
in the nursery row. Spread the roots out in 
a natural position. Then fill in with some of 
the fine top soil, work the soil in well around 
the roots to avoid air pockets. Press or tramp 
earth firmly; use your feet—pack earth 
quite solid. Now fill the hole half full of 
additional soil. Slowly pour on water to 
thoroughly wet soil. Let settle, then fill 
with earth, pressing the earth down firmly 
around the tree or plant. Cover depression 
caused by trampling around tree or plant 
with the rest of the soil, leaving loose to 
absorb moisture. 
Staking. If the tree is less than 3 inches 
in caliper, use a single stake, several inches 
away from the trunk and attach it to tree 
with twine or strips of old cloth. For trees 
over 3 inches, it is best to guy the tree with 
wire in three directions using lengths of rub- 
ber hose to prevent injury to the bark. 
Pruning. If there are two leaders or main 
upright branches, cut off the poorer one as 
completely as the shape of the tree will per- 
mit, removing it entirely if possible. In fu- 
ture years remove dead or broken branches 
and thin out those that do not conform to 
the general shape of the tree. 
FRUIT TREES 
Planting. Follow the same instructions as 
advised for shade trees.

Fruit trees planted in the fall need not 
have the tops permanently trimmed until 
the following spring, after danger of hard 
freezing is past and before the buds start. 
3° HOW TO ORDER—Scee Page 10 
Grapes (See Page 43) 
Work the soil thoroughly before planting 
Grapes, and dig the hole broad and deep 
(several inches deeper than enough to re- 
ceive the roots). Plant just above the second 
bud. Fill up the hole to the right depth 
with rich soil, and firm the earth well about 
the roots, as the hole is back-filled. 
Pruning. The fruit of the Grape is pro- 
duced on the current year’s growth of canes. 
These canes should be pruned each winter 
so that only one of the buds remain on each 
stub. The young plant is trained to one 
shoot until it reaches the top of the trellis, 
to which it is tied. Two canes are allowed 
to grow from the top the second year, form- 
ing a framework for the succeeding growth. 
Remove all growth that starts on the main 
trunk as soon as it appears. The third year 
the cross-arms are pruned back to six or 
eight buds. These produce the bearing 
shoots. 
ROSES 
Planting. Roses are heavy feeders and require 
a rich loam to produce their best. In preparing 
the bed, dig up the ground to a depth of 18-24 
inches and replace about one-third of the bulk 
of the soil with well-rotted cow manure or other 
forms of organic matter. If the remainder of the 
soil is poor, replacing it with a good quality top 
soil would prove to be highly beneficial. 
Dig a hole in the bed large enough to receive 
all the roots without crowding, and set the plant 
as shown in the illustration. Then follow same 
procedure as advised for shrubs. Roses should be 
planted 12-15 inches apart according to their size. 
Pruning. Roses planted in the fall should be cut 
back about one-half their length. When planted 
in the spring, just two or three stems with four 
or five buds on each, should be left. 
Winter Protection. Hybrid Tea and Tea Roses 
should be protected in the winter by hilling up 
the earth around the stem in the fall. To protect 
against heaving, which results from alternate 
freezing and thawing, cover the mound with 
leaves and evergreen boughs when the ground is 
frozen. 
EVERGREENS 
Planting. Remove burlap from moss- 
balled Evergreens and plant the same 
way as shrubs. The moss can be placed 
around the roots to provide a source of 
organic matter and to retain moisture. 
Evergreens with a ball of earth can be 
planted without removing the burlap. 
However, the string should be cut and 
the burlap pulled back on top. (The 
burlap helps to anchor the plant and 
soon rots away.) Evergreens should be 
planted approximately 1 inch deeper 
than they were in the nursery (you can 
tell by soil line on the stem). Hole 
should be at least 6 inches wider than 
ball circumference.
