| There should be a planting guide inside the parcel with the plants, displaying the following information. |

Strawberry Plants
Will require a good soaking before immediate planting. If this is impossible then soak and place in a cool, frost-free place and wrap the roots with polythene, do not allow the plants to dry out. They will keep like this for 3-4 days.

Raspberry Canes
Will need careful attention. Ideally they should be planted out straight away. If this is impossible, unwrap and then wet the roots well (but don't soak) and dig into the ground as a temporary measure making sure that all the roots are covered by 4 inches of damp soil, (check the middle of the bundle is not open to the air) and firm well in. They will keep like this for a couple of weeks providing the soil is damp and they don't dry out. Or, as a very temporary measure, wet the roots, shake off any surplus and carefully rewrap in polythene and leave in a cool, frost-free place. They should only be left like this for 1-2 days. Take care not to damage any buds.

Bush Fruit
Ideally should be planted straight away, but they can be unwrapped and carefully dug in as a temporary measure making sure even the top of the roots are covered with at least 4" of soil and firmed in well. If done properly they will keep like this for a couple of weeks. As an emergency measure the plants can be wetted and placed in polythene and left in a cool place for 1-2 days. Take care not to damage any buds.
