A Few Hints As To Times 
and How To Plant 
Experience has taught us that best results are 
usually obtained from Spring planting, March 
25th to May 15. Although Fall planting is 
sometimes satisfactory we do not recommend 
it and do not take orders for Fall shipping. 
Your trees are worthy of the best of care. 
Upon reeeiving shipment unpack and remove 
packing material. Do not expose roots to sun- 
light or drying winds. If you do not plan to 
plant for a few days heel trees in. Dig a 
trench deep enough to hold the roots and long 
enough for 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 trench and fill in fine moist soil 
and pack it firmly about the roots to exclude 
air. If the ground is dry moisten the earth 
around the roots. 
It is not necessary to fertilize or prepare soil 
previous to planting. Immerse roots of trees in 
a bucket of soupy mud, dig a hole deep enough 
to accommodate the roots and firmly pack the 
soil around the roots. When trees are planted 
too close together, they crowd and the result- 
ing competition speeds the height growth and 
tends to make a poor Christmas Tree. Spacing 
trees 4 by 4 ft. requires apx. 2700 per acre and 
can be used where thinning is contemplated at 
an early age. 5 by 5 ft. requires apx. 1700 and 
is most generally used as it allows for thinning 
for Christmas trees and will still leave a good 
stand for timber. 6 by 6 ft. requires apx. 1200 
per acre and is recommended where trees are 
planted for forest products and no early thin- 
ning is to be done.
