 shipped to you and there is a possibility that there is frost 

 in the box in which the stock is shipped, put the box in a 

 place where the temperature is above freezing — a ceUar or a 

 frost-proof building and do not disturb for 5 to 7 days, at 

 which time stock can be removed from the box in first-class 

 condition. Under no circumstances should you open a box 

 when you think there is frost in it. it will kill it. But if 

 allowed to thaw out in the box, the stock will not be in- 

 jured. Be sure and follow this practice.
