SHADE AND FLOWERING TREES 
We are offering a nice lot of shade and ornamental 
trees this season which consist of only such varieties as 
possess distinctive decorative merit, suitable for lawn, 
park, avenue and street planting. 
Planting. To insure successful results the ground 
should be well prepared before planting, enriching, if 
necessary, with well decayed manure which should be 
well mixed. The hole should be dug at least two feet 
wider than the diameter of spread of the roots of the 
tree planted and about an inch deeper than the nursery 
soil line indicated on the stem. The roots should be 
spread out in a natural way, filling in with fine soil, and 
pouring in several buckets of water to run the soil to the 
roots. It is advisable to stake trees to prevent wind- 
shake until they attach themselves to the ground. Also 
we want to emphasize the necessity of a mulch after 
planting. This consists of straw (or similar material) 
placed around the base of the tree about 6 or 8 inches 
high and a little wider than the width of the hole. Allow 
this to stay on one year and it will practically insure the 
tree’s life.
