Cut off the bruised end of the roots, making a slanting cut on the under side. Cut back the top to correspond with the roots. Trees should be planted 2 to 3' inches deeper than they stood in the nursery. When planting out young trees, set them in a _new place, where it is possible to do so. When they must be planted in an orchard where an old tree has died out, dig a large hole, fill it with fresh dirt and give the young tree a chance. Supply what is lacking in the soil with a good mulch of barnyard manure and wood ashes. It is best to cultivate young trees for several years after planting. Where this cannot be done, they should be well mulched so that no grass can grow within 8 to 10 feet of the tree. Where the ground is very rich and trees do not begin to bear as soon as they ought, it is a good plan to seed down to clover for two or three years. This will check the growth and have a tendency to produce fruit buds. Do not, however, let the orchard stay seeded down unless the grass around the tres as far out as the limbs extend is kept down by mulch. As a winter protection all trees should have a mulch of straw or manure in the fall. This prevents evaporation and root killing. When trimming to produce wood, winter is the best time.
