Author Description

Excerpt from Trumbull and Beebe's Descriptive Catalogue of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Small Fruits, Evergreens, Shrubs, Roses, Etc., 1892 When to Plant is also a matter governed by local conditions, but usually the spring Will be found to be the best time for stock generally, and particularly so for evergreens. The subject of How to Plant has been so universally written upon that any further remarks from us hardly appear necessary. Expecting, however, to reach some that are not yet the possessors of works on this subject, we would say to plant the trees as near as pos sible in the position they stood in the nursery as regards depth. In the case of deciduous trees and shrubs, more or less pruning is necessary, the extent of it to be regulated by the condition of the roots. The holes should at all times be large enough to admit the roots freely in their natural position. Staking, mulching, and watering for the first summer after transplanting will add greatly to the chances of success and ultimate gratification of the purchaser. With these remarks we submit our new catalogue to the public, returning, at the same time, sincere thanks for the generous patronage heretofore bestowed on us, and earnestly requesting a continuance of the same, feeling certain of our ability, under ordinary circum stances, to satisfy all who may favor us with their orders.
