The abbreviation B&B in connection with nursery stock stands for “balled 
and burlapped.” Plants thus prepared have a decided advantage over bare- 
root ones in that shock due to transplanting is reduced to a minimum. Ever- 
green plants in particular are susceptible to root disturbance due to the 
peculiar nature of their roots. The older the plants, the greater the need for 
moving along an adequate ball of earth to preserve the intimate contact be- 
tween the roots and the original soil. The top of the burlap may be rolled 
back or cut off after the plant has been placed firmly so that no soil can fall 
away from the roots. The rest will rot away in due time without causing 
any harmful effect. Always keep evergreens well watered until they have 
become fully established in their new position.
