sary exposure of roots to the air. In the case of plants that are 
"balled," c"o not remove the burlap. Plant as received. If you 
cannot plant immediately on receipt, always "heel" in the trees 
so their roots may be in contact with good soil. An hour's 
exposure of roots to wind or sun may kill any tree; this is espe¬ 
cially true of evergreen. In planting cut off the bruised or 
broken roots with a sharp knife if bare root. 
If the soil is good and properly prepared, only a hole large 
enough to easily take the roots need be dug, but better results 
can always be obtained by digging out a large space and filling 
in with good top soil. In setting the trees, do not put deeper 
than they stood in the nursery, excepting some dwarfs, which 
go a little deeper. But now comes the important detail, the 
neglect of which is responsible for many failures— 
Be sure to pack the earth solidly around the roots. Leaving 
the ground loose after planting has caused tremendous losses 
that generally are unjustiy blamed on the nurseryman. Another 
cause of great loss is the wind working the newly set trees loose 
from the soil. This kills them. Always stake newly set trees. 
After trees are set, make a plan of the grounds, marking the 
■different varieties; then remove the wire labels, as they may 
damage the growing limbs.
