CAUTION 
Never lift or move trees or shrubs that 
are dug with a. ball of earth around their 
roots, by their tops. Lift the ball itself by 
grasping it with both hands or in the case 
of larger balls requiring two or more men 
to lift, make a sling of burlap or other 
.strong material to place under the ball 
guiding the top carefully to see that it 
does not loosen the roots in the ball. 
When trees and shrubs are dug balled 
and burlapped (B & B) and transplanted 
without breaking the ball they nearly al¬ 
ways grow, require less pruning and are 
easier to maintain.
