virginiarose said:If you wrap the roots in wet newspaper or paper-towels, then put the root of the Hosta in the plastic bag with a tie or rubberband around the roots, so they stay moist and the top gets air. If the roots are long you can fold the gently after the wrapping.
Here is a nice example from a mail-order company.
and, if you have monster-sized clumps with lots of dirt (mine come out in big clay blocks 
), you can just pack them in a box or a tub just as they are. They'll be okay for a day or two, if they don't get too hot. Maybe carry a jug of water and a hand-mister along for the ride...just in case. The mister will be for your peace-of-mind, the plants probably won't need it.
