A Few Hints as to Time and 
How to Plant Trees 
TIME TO PLANT 
Experience has taught us that best results are usually obtained 
from Spring planting — March 25th to. May 15th. Although fall 
planting is sometimes satisfactory we do not recommend it and do 
not take orders for fall shipping. 
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 packing material. 
The roots should not be exposed to the sunlight and drying winds. 
Dig a trench deep enough to hold the roots and Jong 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 give 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 careful to 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 mattock 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 contemplated at a compara- 
tively 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 requires 1210 trees per acre and is recommended 
where trees are planted for forestry products and thinning is intended 
for Christmas trees.
