Tools for 
cutting can 
PLANTS in cans may be removed by cut- 
ting down two sides of the can with tin 
snips or chisel and pulling the sides apart 
so that the can comes off easily. Handle so 
as not to break open the ball of earth. 
Pots may be removed by the following 
method: Place four fingers against the 
surface of the soil, invert the pot, tap 
lightly against something solid and out 
come the contents in your hand in one 
solid piece. 
In every case, the soil in the container 
should be fairly moist so that it will hold 
together and care should be used to keep 
all the earth possible on the roots. 
For plants in gallons and 6-inch pots, 
dig a hole approximately 15 inches by 15 
inches. For plants in 5-gallon or 9-inch 
pots, dig a hole approximately 24 by 24”. 
In all cases, plants should be planted 
in the ground at about the same level as 
they were in the container. 
After the hole is partially filled, use

Lift ball 
not top 
water generously before filling the hole 
with top soil so that the water will settle 
the soil around the plants.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 sur- 
face of the ground. Do not remove burlap. 
Fill in about 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 remainder 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 commercial fertilizer in 
the hole when planting. Small quantities 
of fertilizer may be applied when plants 
are thoroughly established and growing.
