Roots should be planted in trenches or holes, four inches 
- deep in heavy soil and six inches deep in sandy soil laid flat 
down [not on end] and covered with earth not over two 
- inches in depth, filling in as the plant develops. Where 
_ drainage is poor, do not plant so deep and keep a furrow 
open between rows to facilitate drainage in wet weather.

~ ground or expect replacements when planted in ground in 
this condition. Wait a few days for ground to dry put
