To plant these small trees, use a trowel or shovel and 
make a hole large enough to accommodate the roots when 
they are well spread out. Put a little water in the hole, pack 
the earth around the roots, keeping them well spread. When 
the hole is filled, pack the earth down firmly so that no air 
can get to the roots to dry them out. Be very careful between 
the time you receive the trees and the time you plant them 
not to let the roots dry out. Dry roots are always fatal to an 
evergreen. If you are planting the trees in your garden to 
let them grow a few years before putting them in their per¬ 
manent locations, keep them about a foot apart. If you are 
not ready to put them in their permanent location at the end 
of two years, be sure to transplant them again, placing them 
two feet apart.
