At the same time gicat nnc should always bo taken to keep the roots of trees while out ot giound froofiom e\posuio tothe miii, wind, or dry atmosphcie, as much of lho at tor success depends on keeping the .small delicate iibioub roots horn becoming dry. All trees as they are lifted or received trom the nursery should be at once unpacked and heeled in the ground, and be kept till they aie wanted for planting, only takingout a few at a time. When planting thcieought always to be two men engaged at the sjime tree. While one liolcK thoti cc in an upright position, let the other put in the good loose surface toil about the roots, taking care nob to leavo any hollows about thorn, and aL-o to hoc filial, tho roots aie spjead out iti their natural position. Press the earth down (iinily with tho foot and fill up with loose soil, leaving the tree planted about tho srvmc depth in the boil as it grew in the nur.s.cry
