Do  NOT  UNPACK  TREES  IN  FREEZING  WEATHER.  If  they  are  received  in  a  frozen  condition,  or  in 
freezing  weather,  keep  them  in  a  cool  situation  but  free  from  frost,  until  they  are  perfectly  thawed.  If 
deciduous  trees  are  miscarried  or  delayed,  so  as  to  become  dried  or  shriveled,  bury  them  completely, 
roots,  trunks  and  branches,  and  let  them  remain  six  or  eight  days  before  planting.  The  puddling  of 
the  roots  of  all  trees  and  plants  in  a  thin  mud  before  planting  is  a  most  excellent  practice,  and  ought 
to  be  more  generally  adopted.  Remove  all  the  label  wires  from  the  trees,  that  they  may  not  cut  or 
destroy  the  branches.    Preserve  a  record  of  the  names  and  order  of  the  varieties  in  a  book;  it  will  be  a 
benefit  and  satisfaction  in  the  future.  To  ascertain  the  number  of  trees  or  plants  required  to  plant  an 
acre,  multiply  together  the  distances  each  way  the  plants  are  to  be  set,  and  divide  43,560  (the  number 
of  square  feet  per  acre)  by  the  amount.
