DECIDUOUS FLOWERING 
SHRUBS 
The proper way to plant shrubs is in irregular clumps, selecting 
varieties that will give harmony or contrast as desired. For planting in 
borders, about the house foundations, or in corners, flowering shrubs are 
the most effective. Some varieties are also good for specimen planting. 
When you plant shrubs, be sure to dig the hole large enough to allow 
the roots to be set without cramping. It is always good policy to have 
the bottom of the hole a little larger than the top. The plant should be 
set firmly, the soil tamped gently, leaving a shallow space around the 
stem. This serves as a saucer to hold water. 
Prune your shrubs after they have finished flowering, thinning out all 
dead or spindly branches. It is well to keep the soil about the plant 
stirred up so as to help retain the moisture about the roots. The dates 
given after the descriptions are the blooming periods. 
ALTHAEA 
Clumps of these shrubs make desirable additions to any lawn or land- 
scape plan. 1 hey are strong, erect plants, and the colors of the different 
varieties blend nicely in a mass planting. They bear an abundance of 
delightful flowers from July to September.
