5. THE SHRUBBERY 
(Exclusive of coniferous evergreens and climbing plants.) 
The common hardy shrubs or bushes may be planted in fall 
or spring. In the northernmost parts of the country and in 
Canada spring planting is usually safer, although on well- 
drained ground and when thoroughly mulched the plants may 
even there do well if planted as soon as the leaves drop in fall. 
If the shrubs are purchased in spring, they are likely to have 
come from “‘cellared stock’’; that is,. the nurserymen dig 
much of their stock in fall and store it in cellars built for the 
purpose. While stock that is properly cellared is perfectly 
reliable, that which has been allowed to get too dry or which 
has been otherwise improperly handled comes on very slowly 
in the spring, makes a poor growth the first year, and much of 
it may die. 
In the planting of any kind of trees or shrubs, it is well to 
remember that nursery-grown specimens generally transplant 
more readily and thrive better than trees taken from the wild; 
and this is particularly true if the stock was transplanted in 
the nursery. Trees that transplant with difficulty, as the papaw 
or asimina, and some nut trees, may be. prepared for removal 
by cutting some of their roots — and especially the tap-root, 
if they have such — a year or two in advance. 
It is ordinarily best to plow or spade the entire area in which 
the shrubs are to be set. Fora year or two the ground should
