SUGGESTIONS FOR CARE OF SHRUBS 
In planting shrubs, first prepare the soil by 
ploughing or spading. Dig a hole large enough 
to allow the roots to spread out naturally. Plant 
the shrub a trifle deeper than it stood in the 
nursery, covering the roots a little at a time and 
firmly packing the soil about the roots with the 
feet. After planting, keep the ground free from 
weeds and grass by cultivating. This is important. 
Pruning —Do not fail to properly prune your 
shrubs as soon as planted. The success of your 
plants depends upon proper pruning. All decidu¬ 
ous shrubs should be pruned annually. The tops 
and branches should be cut back one-third or 
one-half if necessary; all dead branches and weak 
growth should be removed, and care must be 
exercised not to cut off the blooming wood. AH 
shrubs that flower on the previous year’s growth 
should not be pruned until June or July, after 
the blooming period has passed. To this class 
belong the Altheas, Cydonias, Deutzias, For- 
sythias, Philadelphus, Spirea, etc. Do not fail to 
fertilize your shrubs at least once a year.
