ger trees besides the lack OF fertility
in the soil will place the newly planted
trees at a disadvantage. The grower
must therefore see to It that these
trees are given the very best OF care,
particularly in supplying them with
plant food. Put some well rotted ma
nure In the hole. which should be dug
deeper and larger than is necessary to
plant the tree. This manure should
be covered with some fine dirt upon

ground should be kept thoroughly
