CARE OF PLANTS 
Set plants on arrival if possible, Ifplants have become quite dry in 
transit it will help if roots cf the plants can be dipped in water and 
allowed to “plump up’' for some time before setting, perhaps over night. 
When this is done, however, they should be set fairly soon after being 
taken from the water. At any rate have them thoroughly moistened 
wdien planting. If anything prevents immediate planting and the weath¬ 
er is cool, the top of the crate should be taken off and the plants 
loosened in the crate, still keeping the roots covered with dhe packing 
material. Placed where it is cool, plants will keep like this for two or 
three days. If weather is too warm to keep plants, they should be “heel¬ 
ed in" in some shaded or protected place. Dig a V-shaped trench, open 
the bundles, spread them out in thin layers with buds just even with 
the surface of the ground and firm the soil back against the roots of 
the plants. Wet the soil and plants thoroughly w^hen heeling is done.
