Shrubs. In the case of most flowering shrubs 

 that are not especially well formed, cut the tops 

 back sharply after setting. This may cause the 

 shrub not to bloom the first season, but you will be 

 amply rewarded by having a fine, compact, sym- 

 metrical plant ready for blooming another season. 



Roses. Roses thrive best in a medium light, clay 

 soil. Before planting prepare the soil by spading 

 and thoroughly working over to a depth of about 

 18 inches, fill in well-rotted stable manure while 

 spading and work it carefully into the soil. After 

 the plants are set, for best results cut all branches 

 back to within 3 to 4 inches of the top of the 

 ground. The new growth coming out will make a 

 much nicer head than if the plant was not pruned, 

 and the bushes will bloom all the better.
