HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING

We cannot ur^e too strongly the necessity of protecting the roots of trees and plants from the sun and wind. The failure of trees to start a vigorous growth after transplanting is often caused by too much exposure of the roots to the air or a lack of sufficient moisture about the roots while out of the ground; yet a healthy tree may be taken fresh from the ground where it grew, kept in the best possible condition, and w’hen ptoperly transplanted die from some unknown cause. A feeble growth is usually caused by not having the ground in proper condition at the time of trans- planting, or by a lack of after- cultivation.

When the trees are received open the bundles and “heel in” so that the mellow earth comes in contact with all the roots. If the ground has been properly prepared the holes need not be dug larger than is necessary to receive the roots in their natural position. If the trees are to be planted in sod land the holes should be four or five fe d in diameter and eight or ten inches deeper than is necessary to plant the tree, filling up with well-worked surface soil.

Before planting cut away all broken and bruised pieces of roots with a sloping cut from the underside, and shorten in the branches to one-third of last season’s growth. Work the fine soil in among the roots, and wffien W’^ell covered pack firmly. If the ground is dry use a bucketful of water to each tree. Fill the hole a little more than level full, leaving the surface loose. Nev^er allow manure of any sort to come in con- tact with the roots.

Do not set the trees too deep; one or two inches deeper than they stood in the nursery row is deep enough.

The number of plants required for an acre at any given distance apart may be as- certained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of square feet given to each plant, which is found by multiplying the distance between the rows by the distance between the plants in the row. For example: Plum trees

planted 10 feet apart each way gives each tree 100 square feet, or 435 trees per acre.

APPLE TREES

We have a grand lot of apple trees this season, the best we ever grew, with a strong, healthy root system and clean vigorous trees headed the right height for orchard planting. We wish to call your attention to the low prices for the same.

The apple industry of our Northern and Eastern states should have a great deal more consideration than has heen given it in the past. Nothing has better future prospects in this section of the country than good apple orchards.

We are often asked, how soon will an apple orchard begin to bear? That depends upon the variety. The following varieties of two year old apple trees as received from the nursery should begin to bear in 3 to 5 years: Yellow Transparent, Duchess of Oldenberg, Rome Beauty, Grimes

Golden, Pewaukee, Wagner, Wealthy, McIntosh Red, Maiden Blush, Stay- man’s Winesap, Gravenstein, Winter Banana, Delicious, Gano, N. W. Green- ing, Stark, Jonathan and York Imperial. The following should begin to bear in 5 to 8 years: Early Harvest, Red Astrachan, Sweet Bough, Golden Sweet, Baldwin, Hubbardson’s Nonesuch, R. I. Greening, Northern Spy. This list is not complete but will act as a guide for those wishing to plant. Apple trees should be planted from 25 to 40 feet apart according to the soil and varieties.

CHERRY TREES

Cherry trees are one of the most profitable fruits grown. An acre of cherries well cared for, will pay as good returns as an acre of oranges in California. Planted from 16 to 20 feet apart. Early Richmond and Mont- morency are the leading varieties in sour; Windsor, Gov. Wood and Black Tartarian in sweet.

Have bought trees from you now for several years and they have al- ways proved good. Would advise anyone who wishes good stock and fair treatment to deal with you. Yours, truly,

PLEASE NOTICE

Being able to give personal attention to the propagating, grad- ing and packing, we feel assured that all stock purchased of us will be delivered in the best possible condition, and will be found ex- actly as represented, as nearly as care and attention can make it.

Those wanting a large amount of stock should send list of what they want for special prices.

We aim to raise the best stock, graded to the highest stand- ard, strongly grown, well rooted and thrifty.

We think a satisfied customer is the best advertising medium.

We do not believe in the policy of replacing stock which dies after transplanting from natural or other causes. Our experience in the past has proven that the practice of replacing free, has a tendency to encourage carelessness on the part of the planter and also to marring to some extent the friendly relationship that ought to exist between the nurseryman and the planter. The most scrup- ulous care is exercised in the handling of trees from the time of digging until packed for shipment. No chance for injury to stock before shipment is possible under our system. With proper care but very few of our trees fail to grow.

Our northern location is worthy of special mention. One of the great advantages so liberally bestowed upon us by nature is a lovely, cool and healthful climate; an atmosphere purified and tem- pered by the balmy breezes of Lake Erie, where fungus diseases are rarely found. The soil is a rich loam of wonderful fertility, very rich in nitrogen, and underlaid with a porus clay subsoil, eminently adapted to the production of hardy trees, etc. These facts no doubt to some extent account for the uncommon vigor of our trees and plants when afterwards transplanted. Our stock always ripens up thoroughly in the fall and goes into the winter without danger of being injured by severe frost. A comparison will prove that our stock has not the willowy and watery, soft growth of Southern or Western grown stock, which no doubt accounts in a measure for the large and increasing demand for our northern grown stock. The wood is firm and hard, the bodies strong, while the roots have strong forcing power. Such trees cannot fail to make good and profitable orchards.

CERTIFICATE OF NURSERY INSPECTION

No. 136 Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 15, 1913.

This is to certify, that the Nursery Stock for sale by T. B. WEST, of Perry, County of Lake, State of Ohio, consisting of Gen- eral Nursery Stock, has been inspected by a duly authorized in- spector, in compliance with Section 1124, page 314, Laws of Ohio, 1913, and has been found apparently free from dangerously injuri- ous insects and plant diseases.

Valid until September 15, 1914.. Unless revoked.

A. P. SANDLES, President.

N. E. SHAW, Chief Inspector.

This shows one of our large frost-proof packing sheds with a capacity of holding from 50 to 75 car loads of trees.

Owing to an inexplainable and ap- parently unjust and uncalled for dis- crimination, the nurserymen and seedmen do not get the benefit of the new Parcel Post rates and regulations. Therefore we cannot give our customers the benefit of the privileges enjoyed by other lines of business un- der this new system.
