PLANTING EVERGREENS 
Nearly all plants taken from the open ground 
are lifted with a ball of earth around the roots. 
This is wrapped in moss, excelsior or burlap. 
Plants with burlap around the ball may be planted 
with the burlap left on. Before filling the hole, 
cut the string to loosen the burlap and release it 
from the ball. It need not be removed from under 
the plant. When moss or excelsior wrapping is 
about the earth ball, this wrapping must be care¬ 
fully removed. In no case should the earth about 
the roots be disturbed. If the ball of earth falls 
away from the roots the plant must be defoliated 
and cut back. It is advisable to prune severely 
and defoliate such plants as Camphor, Elaeagnus, 
Ilex, Laurocerasus, Ligustrums, Neriums, Photinia, 
and Quercus. 
Preparing the soil properly will give the best 
results. Dig holes of ample size. Place a layer 
of rich top soil mixed with compost in the bottom 
of the hole, set plant at proper depth, and fill hole 
half full with earth. At this point pour in water 
freely, but do not wash soil from roots. Allow 
water to settle, put in more soil and firm it about 
the roots; then fill up the hole. Place a mulch of 
well-rotted leaves to depth of from four to six 
inches about the plants for protection in winter 
and summer.
