MALMO Coniferous Evergreens 
HOW TO PLANT EVERGREENS 
Our Conifers and Broadleaved Evergreens have been fre- 
quently transplanted and will lift with a complete fibrous 
root system in a solid ball of earth. These balls of earth are 
all tightly wrapped in burlap. When planting, this burlap 
must be cut open at the top and folded down after the hole 
has been half filled with earth, If this is not done the water 
will run off the burlap and so prevent the plant from getting 
the needed moisture. 
1. Dig the hole 
large enough. 
2. The proper 
depth to plant. 
3. Good soil 
around plant.
