WHEN TO PLANT. Balan Shadé Trees may be planted’ at any 
time of year. During January, and February, and sometimes. March, we 
handle most varieties bare-root. During the balance, of the year most 
varieties are obtainable in containers. By making your selections while 
bare-root you save from 10% to 50%. 
HOW TO PLANT. When trees, if bare-root, arrive they. should be 
unpacked, the roots kept moist and covered, and should be planted at once. 
If impossible to plant immediately, dig a trench, cover the roots with soil 
and keep soaked until planting can be done. 
To plant dig a hole twice as large, in depth and width, as is necessary 
to accommodate the roots. Place roots in hole, fill in around them with 
top soil, firm soil down and water thoroughly. Irrigate again in three days~ 
and thereafter as needed. In planting cover only to depth trees were 
growing in the nursery. In the case of bare-root trees this. may be deter- . 
mined by the difference in color of the bark that has been above and below 
ground. If trees are balled or in containers, plant only to the depth of 
the soil in the ball or container.
