— defoliate about one-half, place in the 

 packing shed and keep damp from one 

 to three weeks until new roots form in 

 the ball of earth. Another good method 

 is to ball and burlap the stock prior to 

 the months of April and May and place 

 this stock in a lath house or packing 

 shed, heeled in shingletow or hay; the 

 tops should be kept well sprinkled. 

 Then, just do enough planting on your 

 jobs to cinch them and keep your labor 

 busy and your customer happy. 



lAidsummer Jobs and Mutual Joy. 



When stock is handled in this way, 

 the plants go to your customer with 

 leaves on them and he likes that imme- 

 diate effect in the appearance. He feels 

 much better about the spirseas, althaeas, 

 crepe myrtle and many other of our de- 

 ciduous shrubs than he would if they 

 were put out in the winter months 

 without a leaf on them. And there is a 

 great advantage in planting evergreen 

 trees and shrubs in summer, for they 

 will live much more readily when 

 planted in the warm ground. By the 

 time you get your customer's job fin- 

 ished in January that you started in 

 July, the bushes that have already been 

 put in have made, under the increase 

 of water and attention given them, a 

 good growth and they are in a much 

 better position to stand the following 

 spring's drought than if they had been 

 planted during the winter months. Con- 

 sequently your man immediately be- 

 comes interested and the result is that 

 he thinks he has done as much towards 

 the building and beautification of his 

 place as you have and there is an in- 

 terest manifested that makes him happy. 



Better than Side Line. 



I believe that, if a commercial sales- 

 man could lay before you something as 

 a side line that would care for your la- 

 bor situation in the summer, most of you 

 would be willing to incur an expendi- 

 ture of $1,000 to $5,000 in enlarging 

 your business to take it on. Now, I have 

 a far different proposition; your packing 

 sheds are built, your help is already 

 lined up, your trees and bushes are 

 grown and, instead of investing that 

 $1,000 to $5,000, let us get on the job 

 with a little close observation and give 

 it a thorough and fair trial.
