HOW TO PLANT SHRUBS 
Cut the tops hack about one-half or one-third be¬ 
fore planting. Be careful to have roots exposed to 
air or sun as little as possible at any time. 
The important point in planting is to have the 
hole large enough to accommodate the roots with¬ 
out crowding, and to get the soil well worked in 
among the roots. Space the larger growing Shrubs 
4-5 ft. apart, medium growers, 3-4 ft., low growers, 
2-3 ft. 
Always water abundantly and apply a mulch. A 
basin-shaped depression should remain around each 
plant to hold the water, at least the first summer.
