Note. — It is to be noted that many shrubs recommended here as suitable for massing are also good for use as hedges, which is indicated by H. Where the unusual color of autumn leaves 
is worth noting a star is placed in the “ Foliage” column; and also in “ Color of Bloom or Autumn Color,” the star with Lv denotes the color of leaves. Under Lilacs (Syringa) the single and double 
flowers are distinguished. V in purple column is violet and d after a star of color denotes “dark.” 
When planting . — Bear in mind, when planting shrubs, that you are planting for permanency. This means that the ground should 
be well prepared in advance of planting, if you want the best results. Observe the same general rules as for setting out fruit trees or 
shade trees. See the article on page 160 of this issue. Well rotted manure should be dug into the ground so that the roots of the 
shrubs do not come in actual contact with it. Remember that removing a plant causes some shock; the roots are more or less damaged. 
Counteract this by reducing the top in proportion. A good rule is to cut back one-third of the growth, and by preference do this 
by cutting out completely at the ground line the requisite number of branches rather than merely cutting back all the branches. 
Water well when planting, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots without bending any, mulch if you possibly can, and, 
be sure to mulch during the first winter after planting.
