Assures a Successful Planting 
ORDINARILY most orders are dug immediately before delivery 
but at certain seasons, after the plants have started their growth, 
they can be transplanted safely by using the “hardening” method—a 
process to inure stock to too sudden changes. This is a regular prac- 
tice at Rosedale—entirely safe for the plants and a boon to those 
unable to do their planting during the early Spring or very late 
Fall—the dormant periods of the plants. 
To harden plants, they are dug several days in advance of delivery. 
They are placed in cool shade where they are kept thoroughly watered 
until sufficiently “hardened” and ready for delivery. The plant is 
sprayed with Dowax to retard transpiration—excessive moisture 
loss. As a result of the hardening treatment, the new growth on the 
plants does not wilt after transplanting. 
Material is hauled to the loading platform by hand truck, truck or 
by stoneboat and tractor, depending upon the plants dug. Rosedale’s 
main loading platform has been moved recently to aless congested area 
to relieve traffic. The old loading platform near the lath affords addi- 
tional parking space for customers. At the main platform as the plants 
are put on the truck, the foreman makes a final check against his order 
showing the material required. We exercise every care to see that all 
the plants ordered are delivered and that they are not harmed in transit. 
Material being assembled on _ the 
loading platform by several diggers 
from different parts of the nurseries.
