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.
