ined and Balled 
moERUBS 
before filling the hole with 
top soil so that the water will 
settle the soil around the 
plant and eliminate all air 
pockets. 
BALLED PLANTS should 
be handled by lifting the ball 
and not the top. 
Dig a hole large enough to 
hold ball and permit firming 
the earth around it. Place 
plant with top of ball even 
with the surface of the ground. 
Do not remove burlap. Fill 
in about 1/3 with soil, then 
cut top string and fold back 
corners of burlap. Fill the 
hole with water and, when 
soaked in, throw in the re- 
mainder of the soil. Firm the 
soil well, leave a_ shallow 
basin and fill again with 
water. Water again to assure 
thorough soaking of the ball. 
Do not rely on sprinklers or 
sprinkling system to do this 
until plant is well established. 
Never place fertilizer of 
any kind in the hole when 
planting. Small quantities of 
fertilizer may be applied 
when plants are thoroughly 
established and growing. 
Lift ball 
not top
