On receipt of shipment unpack immediately, and if not planted at once place the roots of the 
trees in a trench, cover with soil, and water thoroughly. It is of great importance to dig holes 
deep and large to admit all the roots in their natural position. Any injured roots should be cut 
off with a sharp knife. Fill the hole with the surface soil, so that the tree, after the earth has 
settled, will stand about as deep as it did in the nursery, a line which can usually be noted by a 
difference in color. _
