(1) Dig hole a foot larger and deeper than ball 
of earth. 
Evergreens transplant best during the Spring months, before and 
just as new growth is beginning, or for several months following 
August 15 when the new growth is completed and has become 
sutfficiently hardened. 
The excavation for planting should be considerably larger and 
deeper than the encased roots so as to allow liberal space around 
the ball for filling in with good soil. Do not remove burlap, only 
loosen it at top and roll back as indicated in illustration. Care* 
fully pack soil under earth ball and when hole is two-thirds re¬ 
filled. FLOOD WITH WATER. 
In restoring the remainder of the excavated soil allow a shallow 
basin to remain around the tree to collect the rain and enable 
it to soak into the ground. Mulch with well-rotted manure or 
straw to conserve the moisture in the ground and keep it from be¬ 
coming hard. In the Fall mound the soil against the plants. 
Nightly spray the foliage with plain water, and weekly direct a 
STRONG force of water against the under side of the foliage, 
when the sun is not shining. This treatment preserves the vigor 
and beauty of the plant.
