HOW TO HANDLE YOUNG EVERGREENS 
YOUNG EVERGREENS, if dry on arrival, should be soaked in a tub of water. Shade after 
planting. Keep well watered. All young evergreens like lots of water and good drainage. 
Our POT GROWN TREES do not have to be shaded—plant where you want them to grow. 
POT GROWN TREES HAVE NO SET BACK-THE ROOTS ARE NOT DISTURBED. You 
should not lose one if you handle them properly. 
One important thing to remember in planting trees is to avoid exposing the roots to the sun 
and wind. Trees without a protection of dirt on the roots easily suffer from drying out, so it is 
important to keep the trees in the box until ready to plant, or cover the roots with wet burlap. 
Soil must be thoroughly prepared and in a fine mellow condition. Dig the holes so that there 
is plenty of room for the natural spread of the roots. Sift the fine dirt around the roots, allow¬ 
ing them to spread out in the natural way. 
On Receiving Pot Grown Trees 
See that the roots are WET.—Dig a hole and plant.—Water each day until started. THEY 
ALL GROW.
