2 TUTTLE’S CATALOGUE. 
_ high-toned horticultural journal like the “Popu- 
lar Oarclening” of Buffalo, N. Y., and read it and 
profit by its reliable teachings. We hope to 
prove to these parties that ouR stock is rei.ia- 
m.E. That our advice as to what is best to 
plant is valuable. That our way of doing busi- 
ness is not only pleasant but profitable to our 
customers. To our old customers we are grate- 
ful, and to the new ones, we will promise the 
strictest attention to their wants, hoping to add 
all their names to our long list of kind friends 
who buy of us because they have found it paid 
them to do so. Tkv us with a small order. 
On receipt of your trees if they appear to be 
dry, bury them tops and ai.i. in moist earth for 
a few days. If it has been freezing weather and 
you have reason to think there is frost in them, 
put the package, unopened, into a dark cellar, 
for a day or two, and let the frost come out 
gradually, and if the roots were well mossed in 
packing, they will he uninjured. When Straw- 
berries are received and you are not quite ready 
to plant them, be sure that the roots are kept 
moist, without moistening the foliage, and ])ut 
them on the cellar bottom. Kvergreens must 
be kept from drying the roots in the least. Heel 
them in as fast as unpacked and not allow the 
sun or wind to reach the bare roots for a 
moment. A good way is to prepare a clay pud- 
dle and immerse the roots, which will give them 
a coating that will exclude sun and air. Then 
heel them in. .After the sap of an evergreen 
once hardens it never (lows again. The tree is 
dead, though the foliage may not show it for 
many days.
