FRUIT 
Directions—As soon as you receive your shipment 
remove the packing, sprinkle the roots and heel the 
bundle in moist ground. In planting, take out only 
a few trees or shrubs at a time and never allow 
them to lie exposed to the air and sun at any time. 
Dig the hole large enough to admit all the roots in 
the natural position, keeping the surface and the 
subsoil separate. In filling in, sift the best soil in 
around the roots. When most of the soil is filled 
in, pour in the water to wash the soil around the 
roots, then pile up the remainder and tread down 
gently with the foot. After this the tree or shrubs 
should have a good watering at least once a week. 
A mulch around the base of the tree, two or three 
inches thick is very beneficial.
