. The open door to independence; making money from the soil; what to do--how to do, on city lots, suburban grounds, country farms, together with outline maps of all parts of the United States, irrigated regions, climates, cities, villages, market towns, locations and populations . Trees Adapted to Various Regions, with Cultural Directions The beauty of a shade tree depends upon Its nor-mal and symmetrical growth. In order to insurethis, before planting cut off the ends of all brokenor mutilated roots; remove all side branches exceptupon evergreens, so that a straight, whip-like stalkalone remains. Dig holes at least 2 feet in diameterand 1 foot deep in good soil, and make them 4 feetacross in poor soil. The sides of holes should beperpendicular and the bottom flat. Break up soilin the bottom of the hole to the depth of thelength of a spade blade. Place 2 or 3 inches of finetop soil, free from sods or other decomposing organicmatter, in the bottom of the hole. On top of thisplace the roots of the tree, spread them as evenlyas possible over the bottom of the hole, and coverwith 2 or 3 inches of fine top soil as before. Trampfirmly with the feet and fill the hole with goodearth. leaving the surface loose and a little higherthan the surface of the surrounding soil.
