CARE OF STOCK ON ARRIVAL 
_The bundles should be opened immediately, the roots 
dipped in water, then heeled in moist ground so that the 
mellow earth will come in contact with the roots and 
thoroughly protect them from the air, having the earth 
tramped solid about them. 
If Strawberry plants, perennials with growing tops or 
Raspberry tip plants, be careful that only the roots are 
wet and no moisture is on the crown and tops when 
healed in or rotting will surely result. 
When ready to plant, take up only a few at a time, pud- 
dle the roots and do not allow them to lie exposed to the 
sun or air. 
The roots of woody trees, shrubs or dormant Roses may 
be soaked in water for several hours prior to planting. 
The ground should be carefully prepared by deep plow- 
ing and firming down with a disc and harrow, or by deep 
spading and working down with garden tools.

RULE—Multiply the distance in feet between the rows 
by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the 
product will be the number of square feet for each plant, 
which, divided into the number of square feet in an acre 
(43,560), will give the number of plants or trees to the 
acre,
