Tiie i>lants should be transferred from the spot where they are "heeled in" or packed, to the planting hole by carrying in a pail. Usually the plants are small enough .so that 100 or 200 can be carried in a 12-quart pail as shown in Fig. 20. This pail should be filled with enough water so that the roots will lie well covered. It is often recommended that the roots should be puddled before plant- ing. The writer has found tliat a .satisfactory puddle can be maile itnly when dealing witii a heavy, clay soil. Ordinary soils, common to forest planting, .settle.
