GOOD NURSERY STOCK 
REQUIRES CORRECT HANDLING 
Nursery stock is a living plant and the success 
or failure with your planting depends a great deal 
cn the manner in which the stock is treated after 
its arrival, the way it is planted and after care it 
receives. The time to start looking after plants, 
trees and shrubs is immediately on arrival. All our 
stock is carefully dug, graded, inspected and pack- 
ed in such a manner that it will reach you full of 
vitality, although it may be in transit several 
days. If vou will follow the simple instructions in 
this circular we assure you that you will get very 
satisfactory results from our nursery products, 
providing weather conditions are favorable the 
first growing season. 
CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL 
If for any reason the trees cannot be planted at 
once we recommend the following procedure. 
Boxed shipments should be kept intact in a cool 
place where the trees will not dry out. They can be 
kept in the box for a week to ten days without 
harm. Smaller baled shipments should be opened 
and placed in a cool, damp shelter, such as an or- 
dinary house cellar. The roots should be kept damp 
and covered with burlap or other such material. Do 
not unpack trees and heel them in the ground where 
they are exposed to the drying winds and sun be- 
fore planting.
