The Planting of Balled and 
Burlapped Evergreens 
When trees have been a long time in 
transit and have dried out somewhat, 
it is a good plan to submerge each 
earth bail in a tub of water until 
water has thoroughly penetrated the 
ball and reached roots of the tree- 
do not remove burlap to do this. 
If planting cannot be done imme¬ 
diately when trees arrive, wet them as 
described and set somewhere out of 
sun and wind—cover earth balls with 
damp straw or leaves. 
Before digging holes, first arrange 
trees in their proposed location, move 
them around until desired effect is ob¬ 
tained. Remember not to crowd trees 
too closely. 
Leave the tops tied up until tree is 
planted. 
Leave the burlap on earth ball as a 
protection in handling. It soon rots 
away. 
Dig the hole a foot deeper and wider 
than necessary to admit ball. If soil 
is not good garden soil, fill in with 
good soil and PACK DOWN FIRMLY. 
The burlap can be loosened from 
around stem and surplus cut off. 
Fill hole % full of soil to pack firm¬ 
ly, water and fill rest of hole with 
loose dirt. Start feeding tree with ap¬ 
plications of liquid manure three or 
four times the first month or two after 
transplanting. 
A three or four-inch mulch of peat 
moss will be foxmd beneficial. 
Water thoroughly once each week 
first month of planting and once every 
two weeks thereafter.
