iry exposure of roots to the air. In the case of plants that are 
Dalled/' CO not remove the burlap. Plant as received. If you 
;nnot plant immediately on receipt, always "heel" in the trees 
> their roots may be in contact with good soil. An hour's 
cpcs’jrc of roots to wind or sun may kill any tree; this is espe- 
olly true of evergreen. In planting cut off the bruised or 
rokc.n roots with a sharp knife if bare root. 
If the soil is good and properly prepared, only a hole large 
Tcugh to easily take the roots need be dug, but better results 
]n always be obtained by digging out a large space and filling 
1 with good top soil. In setting the trees, do not put deeper 
lan they stood in the nursery, excepting some dwarfs, which 
D a little deeper. But now comes the important detail, the 
Dglect of which is responsible for many failures— 
Be sura to pack the earth solidly around the roots. Leaving 
ground loose after planting has caused tremendous losses 
lat generally are unjustly blamed on the nurseryman. Another 
euse of great loss is the wind working the newly set trees loose 
'om the soil. This kills them. Always stake newly set trees, 
dter trees are set, make a plan of the grounds, marking the 
ifferent varieties; then remove the wire labels, as they may 
amage the growing limbs.
