This lovely home Is a remarkable example that 
the “Pioneer spirit still lives.” A few years 
ago it was a mere homestead In the desert— 
now it is a real home—made so by trees, 
shrubs and flowers from Sonderegger’s Nurser¬ 
ies. So writes Mr. E. E. Frey, Powell, Wyom¬ 
ing, who sent us this photo.

Planting of Flowering Shrubs as ig you would J for 
trees; that is, plenty large, so that you can have several inches 
of good, loose top soil all around and on the bottom of the root. 
Always fill in with good top soil, and just before the hole is 
completely filled, apply plenty of water, which will settle the 
•oil properly. When the water is all soaked down, fill up with 
loose soil to have the ground level. 
After planting, your shrubs should stand about 2 to 3 inches 
deeper than before in the nursery row. 
On all trees and shrubs cut the ends of the roots smooth, just 
before you plant. This should never be neglected. 
Flowering shrubs may be cut back at the time of planting 
to any "desired height. In later years, that is, on older shrubs, 
pruning may be done during the dormant season, removing the 
oldest wood by making the cut close to the ground. Flowering 
•hrubs may also be pruned in the summer, this pruning per¬ 
tains to the branches only, and is always done after the shrubs 
have bloomed.
