HARDY SHRUBS 33 
Department of Hardy Trees, Shrubs and Vines 
Our forty-four years’ experience in Montana 
has enabled us to select and grow only such 
Trees, Shrubs and Vines that we have found to 
be hardy and adaptable to conditions found in 
Montana and the Northwest. This is something 
no other institution can offer you. 
CARE IN WATERING 1 
Growth should be encouraged during the ! 
early Summer months and ample water | 
should be applied sit this time. Do not merely 1 
wet the surface but give several successive 7 
applications, being sure that the water goes I 
to the very lowest root extremities. About I 
the last part of August nnd during Septem- 1 
her wsiter should be gradually withheld so 
tlisit the Trees sind Shrubs will have a chance 
to mature up properly for the winter. Then 
after the leaves have fallen and the Trees 
have gone into their winter dormant state, 
which is usually about the middle to the end 
of October, they should be heavily soaked 
with w r ater sigsiin.
