Parcel Post 
Parcel Post shipments are packed light, yet 
well protected from drying out by reinforced, 
air-tight paper, and small shipments up to 300 
miles can usually be sent cheaper in this way 
than by express. We cannot send larger than 
2- to 3-foot trees by Parcel Post unless we trim 
the 3- to 4-foot size ready for planting. The 
postage on Parcel Post shipments is charged 
for when shipment is made where it is not sent 
with the order. All larger trees are sent Rail- 
way Express, Motor Express or Freight, accord- 
ing to the wish of the purchaser.

When id How to Plant Nut Jrees 
Our hardy Illinois- grown trees may be 
' planted successfully in fall, winter and spring. 
Our fall season generally begins November 1. 
Spring season ends April 1. Nut trees may be 
planted anytime during the winter when the 
ground isn't frozen. 
If possible, plant the trees immediately 
upon arrival, otherwise heel them in (temporar- 
_ ily plant them) so the roots will not dry out. 
IN PLANTING, the holes should be dug 
wide enough to accommodate the roots and 
a few inches deeper than the length of the 
roots. No manure or other coarse material 
should be used in the holes about the roots. 
A few handsful of bone meal or tankage mixed 
with the soil about the roots will give good 
results. We find in planting nut trees, best 
results are obtained if the soil is put back into 
the hole just as it is removed. Namely, topsoil
