Show Good Care Is Necessary for Young Fruit Trees Give fruit trees the proper care npon arrival from the nursery and you will be repaid for your labor. That 75 per cent of the complaints made by buyers of nursery stock are unjust Is the belief of James G. Moore, horticultural department. Wisconsin College of Agriculture. The real cause ls lmproier handling and planting. "Remember the trees are a living organism," reminds Moore. "When you are notified that they have arrived Bt the express station, call for thein Immediately. "When not prepared to plant immediately, imme-diately, dig a trencli and lay the trees In It with the tops facing south. Cover the roots with dirt. If necessary, they may be left, 'heeled-ln' for some time without Injury." |
