PLANT FOR PROFIT, SHADE AND BEAUTY

What to Plant

We recommend the planting of the following for Christmas
tree growing,—Scotch Pine, Austrian Pine, American Red Pine,
White Pine, Norway Spruce, White Spruce, Colorado Blue
Spruce, Balsam Fir and Douglas Fir.

Colorado Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce, White Spruce, Can-
adian Hemlock, Arborvitae and Mugho Pine are recommended
for Ornamental and Landscape planting.

American Red Pine, White Pine, Scotch Pine, Austrian
Pine. Pitch. Pine, Banks Pine, Norway Spruce, Canadian Hem-
lock, and European Larch are recommended for reforestation
of vacant land in order to prevent soil erosion and to grow a
future timber supply.

For further recommendations for the particular area in
which you are located consult your County Farm Agent or
State Department of Forestry.

When to Plant

Best results are obtained from Spring planting, March 15th
to May 31st. September ist to October 31st is Fall planting
season. More care must be exercised in the Fall to obtain
satisfactory results, due to the fact that the earth around the
trees does not have sufficient time to become packed. The
frost then heaves the tree out of the ground.

Care before Planting

Good stock deserves good care. Trees are living things
and as such should be given careful and intelligent care. To
insure your success we offer you the following suggestions:

Upen receiving the trees unpack them immediately, remo-
ving all packing material. Do not expose the stock to drying
winds or the sun.

“Heel” the stock in a place convenient to the planting site,
preferable at the north side of a building or woods where it
will have protection from the sun and drying winds.

How to Plant

It is not necessary to prepare the ground in any way before
planting. The added expense is not justified and grass and
weeds prove a benefit in conserving moisture during the first
few seasons after planting. Do not use fertilizer on soil.

In planting small tracts three men work to best advantage.
One man to make holes with a maddock, the other two follow
and plant trees.

In planting more extensively a crew of ten men work to
the best advantage. Three men in varallel lines making holes
and two planters following each planting trees. The tenth
man follow the crew to replentish the planters’ pails when
needed; to watch the spacing and to keep the crew going as
rapidly as possible. Under normal conditions a planting crew
should average sixty (60) trees per nour per man.

It is important that the roots of the trees do not become
dry, therefore trees should be carried in a pail submerged in a
thick puddle of mud until planted. Allowing the roots to be-
come dry is certain to kill the trees.

There are many different opinions about spacing. 4’ x 4’
spacing requiring 2720 trees to the acre is used where thinning
is contemplated at a comparative young age. 5’ x 5’ spacing
requiring 1740 trees to the acre is the spacing most generally
used. This spacing allows for thinning for Christmas trees
and still leaves a good stand for timber. 6’ x 6’ spacing re-
quiring 1210 trees to the acre is recommended where trees are

lanted for forestry products and where no thinning is intended
or 20 to 25 years.
