HOW TO HANDLE UPON 
ARRIVAL 
Take care of your nursery stock im- 
mediately upon its arrival. Sometimes 
trees may be somewhat dried out in 
transit from contact with hot steam 
pipes or delay at transfer points. Bury 
them in wet dirt, tops and all, for a 
day or two. If possible plant at once 
when shipment is received. If the 
weather is too cold for planting, put © 
the box or bundle in a cool but frost- 
proof cellar. If the weather is warm 
and you are not ready to plant, heel 
the stock in or unpack at once and 
place stock in a cool cellar. Cover the 
box or bundle and spread out sacks or 
canvas over them. Sprinkle enough > 
water on the trees to keep them from 
drying out, but do not drench the roots 
and tops.

HOW TO PLANT 
All nursery stock needs careful 
handling. It must’ not be exposed to 
drying winds or sun before being trans- 
planted. After being planted, the stock 
will need food and water. 
Temporary Planting 
HEELING IN TREES AND SHRUBS 
FOR TEMPORARY PLANTING 
If possible, heel your trees in a place 
convenient to the orchard or in the 
garden, preferably at the north side 
of a building or woods where they will 
have protection from the sun and their 
development will be retarded. 
Select a well-drained location. Dig 
a trench deep and wide enough to hold 
the roots without crowding. Throw the 
dirt from the trench so as to form a 
bank. Unpack the trees and place the 
roots in the bottom of the trench with 
the tops leaning against the bank. Fine, 
moist soil should be packed rather 
firmly about the roots to exclude air. 
Then heap more soil on the roots and 
a third or more of the tops. All pack- 
ing material and grass that might har- 
bor mice should be removed. If the 
ground is too dry, moisten the dirt 
about the routs.
