82 PLANNING AND PLANTING 



Golden Privet, which may- be kept at any desired 

 height by pruning. 



For those who have much shade, and wish vari- 

 eties suited to such spots, we will choose the 

 Hydrangeas, the Mock Orange or Philadelphus, 

 and also the Dogwoods, the Forsythias, Bush 

 Honeysuckles, the Snowberry and the Coralberry. 



For dry places and embankments we will recom- 

 mend the Bush Honeysuckles, and most of our 

 berried plants, and for such a spot I would plant 

 Yucca or Adams Needle which, with its swordlike 

 foliage, and tall spikes of creamy white bloom, 

 present a handsome sight, and does well in such 

 a location. 



PLANTING. In planting Shrubbery, first see 

 that the holes are dug large enough so as not to 

 cramp the roots. Do not plant too deep, only 

 just about as deep as they stood when in the nur- 

 sery rows will be all right. Place the plants and 

 put in some soil, tamp this down tight, just as if 

 you were planting a fence post, then some more 

 soil and firm that down too. The last two or three 

 inches of soil should be left loose so the rains will 

 soak in, and the dirt should not be hilled up 

 around the plants so the water will run away from 

 where it is most needed. 



Never put manure in the holes when planting 

 anything unless it is first well rotted, and then 

 thoroughly mixed with the soil. ' Either mix it
