INFORMATION CONCERNING PLANTING, ETC.

Average distance for planting apple trees 22 to 25 feet ; peach trees 18 to 25 feet: pear trees 18 to 25 feet; plums 16 to 20 feet; cherries 16 to 20 feet; pecan trees 40 to 60 feet; grapes 6 to 8 feet; blackberries 4 to 6 feet; raspberries 4 to 6 feet.

Different people have different ideas of the distance for planting trees, but the above is an average, although trees can be planted much closer than this in small lots where they have vacant lots on the outside.

Holes should all be dug deep and large enough so as to not crook or crump roots. Use clay, soil or sand in the holes, fertilise on top of the ground. In order to make long life trees I think it a good idea to start the top low to the ground, this can be done by topping your tree back to 18 to 30 inches and allowing about four to six branches near the top to remain, keeping all of the other rubbed off through spring and summer. As to time for planting trees I find that trees can be successfully planted in the South any time from November to the middle of April.

My trees are all packed with damp moss and sawdust, wrapped with heavy paper and sewed tight with burlap.

Please note my very low cut prices on Paper Shell Grafted and Budded Pecan trees. . They are as good as money can buy.

INFORMATION

Plant all trees and shrubbery just a little deeper than they stood in the nursery; dig holes large enough, so as not to cramp the roots. Prune small trees and roses in April. Prune large trees in February and March. Do not use manure in the holes when planting. Use it on top after the plant is set.. Cultivate peach and apple trees as long as they live, if you want fine fruit. Pear trees do not need any cultivation after the second year. Pear and plum trees do well in yard. Plant your young peach and apple orchard in cotton and fertilize well with commercial fertilizer, and see your trees grow. Plant peach, pear and plum trees 18 to 24 feet apart; apples about 25 feet; pecans 40 to 60 feet.

NOTICE— HEALTH CERTIFICATE ON FRONT PAGE.

ROSES

If you were to send to some Northern Nursery for prices on Roses, they would send you a list of about 75 to 150 varieties, and unless you know all about roses, you would not know what to buy. I here is only about 10 to 15 per cent of them good for our climate. I only have a small list of the very best that can be had. Every rose on this list will bloom first year — from early Spring to No- vember, if they are well cultivated. Roses should be well culti- vated all spring and summer. Fertilize well with well rotted lot manure on top of the ground.
