are dry they should be 
soaked in water sev- 
eral hours before 
planting. Keep roots 
AND Vy -~ covered until you are 
z ready to plant. Re- 
move all covering be- 
fore placing roots in 
the ground.’

least one-third before 
planting as shown by 
dotted line in accom- 
panying diagram.

crowded or may rub 
against each other it 
may be necessary to 
cut out some additional 
wood as indicated by 
black lines. ;

larger than the root 
system of plant. 
Place plant in hole, 
spreading out roots 
naturally. Fill in hole
