How to Plant Shrubs 
Do not expose roots 
to air or light more 
than necessary. If 
roots are dry they 
should be soaked in 
water several hours 
before planting. Keep 
roots covered until 
you are ready to plant. 
Remove all covering 
before placing roots 
in the ground. 
Prune shrubs back 
at least one-third be¬ 
fore planting as 
shown by dotted line 
in accompanying dia¬ 
gram. When branch¬ 
es are crowded or 
may rub against each 
other it may be neces¬ 
sary to cut out some 
additional wood as in¬ 
dicated by black 
lines. 
Then dig the hole; 
larger than the root 
system of plant. 
Place plant in hole, 
spreading out roots 
naturally. F'ill in hole 
about two-thirds full 
of dirt, shaking shrub 
up and down to settle 
dirt. 
Planted 41*e Right Way 
Roots Set Naturally 
Now fill the hole with water, (this 
is important) and allow to settle, after 
which fill in the rest of the soil to 
surface level. 
A liberal handful or two of bone- 
meal as a top dressing is very helpful. 
Water thoroughly at intervals during 
the first season. 
Space tall shrubs such as Lilacs 4-6 
feet apart, the medium height shrubs 
such as Spirea Van Houttei 3-4 feet 
apart, and the dwarf plants such as 
Barberry 2-21/4 feet apart. Never 
plant closer than 2 feet to house foun¬ 
dation.
