PLANTING GUIDE 
How to Plant Canned and Balled TREES and SHRUBS 
WHEN PLANTS are in cans, they may be removed 
by cutting 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 inches. 
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 water gener- 
ously before filling the hole with top soil so that the 
water will settle the soil around the plants and elim- 
inate 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 ia 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 
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.
