Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of Fruit and Nut Trees, Ornamental and Shade Trees, Grape Vines, Small Fruits, Roses, Palms, Etc., Etc., 1893 A11 bruised portions of the roots must be cut off clean, and the tree planted in a fresh] y dug hole, large enough to admit of the spreading of all roots without crowding, Which must be surrounded and covered with hue, mellow soil, very firmly pressed ih, care being taken that the roots are not broken or injured in so doing. Trees must not be planted any deeper than they have stood in the nursery; and, if the land is heavy or inclined to be wet, it is better to plant them still shallower. In good land that has been well plowed and harrowed it is a waste of time to dig very large holes. When the trees are set, if one-year-old stock, they should all be cut off to about twenty inches from the ground. If two years old, then the side branches must be shortened to about five or six inches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
