Planting Times
For Trees. Shrubs

When you buy trees and shrubs
that come with soil balled a
round the roots, plant as soon
as possible. That's the advice
of George K. Vapaa, county ag-
ricultural agent.
If they must be held a few
days, keep them in cool shady
place with the ball of earth
moist.
When planting, dig the hole
about one-foot wider than the
ball of soil and five or six inches
deeper. Then mix top soil with
peat and sand at a ratio of
three-fourths soil and one-quar-
ter peat and sand.
Fill the bottom six inches of
the hole with the prepared soil,
MIR. Vapaa continues. Lift the
tree or shrub by the ball of
earth and put it in the center
of the hole. The plant should
be at about the same depth as
in the nursery.
Shovel in enough soil at the
base of the ball to hold it in
place-about one-third of the
hole. Loosen and push aside the
burlap at the top of the ball.
Don't lift the ball and remove
the burlap, as the soil often
will break away. Fill the hole
about two-thirds full of prepar-
ed soil and tramp it down. Then
fill the hole with water. After
this has drained away, fill the
hole to ground level with soil.
The agricultural agent says to
prepare a basin around the
trunk for water and to add
about three or four inches of
peat moss or other mulch. Leave
this mulch for several years,
adding more as needed.
On evergreen trees six feet
or more high, guy wires are
needed for at least the first two
years, Mr.. Vapaa advises. Wrap
