The fast of April or the first | of May is the proper time to | plant apple trees in Prince Ed- | ward Island. When trees are re- ceived from the nursery’ the roots should be well soaked with water. If the trees are not plan- ted immediately you should dig | a shallow trench and heel them in. The roots should not, at any time, be allowed to become dry.

When planting the tree, dig the hole big enough so that the roots may be spread out and not crowded. Before the roots are placed in the hole it is a good idea to mix some peat moss with some good soil (about half and half) and place this mixture in the bottom of the hole, then soak with watery When the tree is placed in the hole the soil should be tramped well as the hole is being filled.
