CARE OF PLANTS AND TREES 
Vegetable and all soft plants are better un- 
packed on arrival and moistened. Place in a cool 
place and plant in evening or early morning. Water 
each plant separately when planting. Shading from 
sun and wind is very desirable. 
Trees and shrubs are benefitted often by placing 
in water for 24 hours before planting. Pruning 
pretty severely is necessary. Remove some 
branches from trees, shortening others. Remove 
older wood from shrubs. Dig hole of generous 
size, larger and deeper than size of plant requires. 
Plant all trees and shrubs a little deeper than 
they grew in the nursery. Water plentifully. Tramp 
firmly. Keep top soil loose.
