General Planting Instructions 
If the stock is soaked for 12 
Plant Promptly to 24 hours in a tub of water 
before planting, it will start quicker. Be sure the 
roots are completely covered. 
Soak the roots over night or a full night and day. 
Then dig your holes large enough so the roots will 
not be crowded, putting the good top soil on one side. 
If the ground is dry, fill the hole full of water at 
least twice before planting. 
Then when the water has all soaked away, go ahead 
with your planting. Of course, if the ground is moist, 
then it will not be necessary to put water in the 
holes before planting. Remember, the most important 
factor in the life of a plant is plenty of moisture. 
Always keep roots moist and covered, = 
or keep in tub of water. —_
