NOTE: All plants, unless otherwise specified, will be bare-rooted, 
but either pulled with soil attached in fibrous-rooted plants or puddled 
and thoroughly packed with wet shingle tow. Where we consider un¬ 
safe to handle this way, we will so state in each case. Much weight 
is saved where we can ship bare-rooted. Where advisable will also 
prune tops to balance the root-system.
