WATERING 
Note well: a tree dies if its roots dry 
out. Whenever a shipment is received, 
the roots should be examined and immedi¬ 
ately soaked if they prove at all dry. 
They should then be planted at once and 
well watered after planting and still once 
more two or three days later. 
HEELING IN 
If it is impossible to plant immediately, 
dig a trench in a shady spot deep enough 
to hold the roots and open all bundles and 
spread the roots naturally in the trench. 
The earth is carefully thrown in over the 
roots and tramped down, water heavily. 
Plants may safely remain here two or 
three weeks until it is convenient to 
plant out.

SMALL DECIDUOUS TREES 
The important difference between 
handling small evergreens and small 
deciduous trees and shrubs is in the 
matter of pruning back upon planting. 
Generally speaking, this is not done 
with evergreens. With deciduous shrubs 
cut to the ground upon setting them out. 
Trees with a single stem: prune back 
within a few inches of the ground and 
then a month later go over the planting 
again and cut away all but one single 
stem. 
SUCCESSFUL PLANTING 
There should not be more than a 10% 
loss in normal conditions.
