The Principles of Planting 
WHEN TO PLANT. The proper time is when the plant is in a 
naturally dormant condition—that is in the spring. Prepare the 
land as early in the spring as you can work the ground. Dig down 
deep mixing in rotted manure, compost and decayed leaves. Re¬ 
member you are starting a plantation that will last for years. Do 
not plant shrubs in a low spot where water stands. 
As soon as the plants arrive heel them in or if you are already to 
plant, just put them in a tub or pail with the roots in water. A wet 
burlap sack will keep the wind^nd sun off them. All broken roots 
should be taken off with a clean cut. 
SETTING. Make a hole broad enough and deep enough to hold the 
roots spread out naturally. If the roots are crowded into too small a 
space, your shrub will show it later. Set the shrub so that it will 
stand at the same level it did in the nursery row or an inch or two 
deeper. Hold the stalks with one hand while with the other sprin¬ 
kle on fine loose soil so that the small roots are completely covered. 
Shake the stalks up and down to let the dirt get in and around 
better. When the hole is about half full, pour in some water and 
tread the soil down hard. Then tread down again when the soil is 
nearly even with the surface. I.eave loose soil on top to keep the 
moisture from evaporating and to prevent baking.
