It may be necessary to apply water to moisten the soil. Before planting", the end of all bruised and broken roots must be cut sloping- from the under side. If the soil is properly prepared the holes need not be dug much larger than to receive the roots in their original position. In planting in sod in yard or lawn, the hole should be dug four feet in diameter and a little deeper than is necessary to set the tree, alwa}Ts using good mellow soil in filling in, pressing the ground well about the roots, and in such a manner as to leave them in their natural po- sition as much as possible. Water freely used in planting helps to settle the earth above the roots and a mulching as soon as the tree is planted three or four inches thick and four to six feet in di- ameter should be applied, but the earth should be well pressed about the trees before applying the mulching. Depth to Plant About the only correct guide that can be given in regard to the depth to be planted is that when the ground is well pressed about the tree or plant it will be as deep or a little deeper than it stood in the nursery, and in this it is well to bear in mind that the roots of some trees, such as the Standard Pear, strike their roots deep, and require a deep hole even to plant them as deep as th< y were in the nuisery. Dwarf trees should be planted so that all the stock on which they are worked will be under ground. Pruning Cut back one-third to one-half of last seasons growth, and one year old peach
