PLANTING TREES 
Pruning before Planting: It is best before planting to cut off 
the broken and jagged roots, and to prune back the branches of 
the young trees about one-third of their length. 
Pruning after Planting: If there are two leaders, or main 
upright branches, cut off the poorer one as completely as the 
shape of the tree will permit, removing it entirely, if possible. If 
the tree is on or near a sidewalk or path all low branches should be 
removed so that the lowest branch is six or seven feet above the 
ground. The only additional pruning needed, in succeeding years, 
will be to remove dead or broken branches, and to thin out those 
which do not show regular growth.

PRUNING SHRUBS 
When a shrub grows out of bounds it may be improved by 
thinning out some of the overcrowded branches, and most shrubs 
are benefited by cutting out dead or weak branches. Pruning 
new shrubs when first planted or cutting back old shrubs when 
transplanted is very beneficial and strongly recommended, the 
object of which is to balance the growth above the ground with 
the loss of roots occurring at planting time. 
In general, all shrubs fall into two classes—those which should 
be pruned directly after flowering and those which should be 
pruned in early spring. The first class forms its flowers on the 
previous year’s growth of wood, and the second, the current 
year’s growth. The first class are generally early bloomers and 
the latter, the late Summer and Fall bloomers. 
ROSES 
Pruning before Planting: Roses planted in the Fall should 
be cut back about one-half their length. When planted in the 
Spring, but two or three stems with four or five buds on each 
should be left after the pruning has been completed. Cut away 
all bruised or broken branches. 
Winter Protection: If the winters are severe, the Hybrid-Teas 
and Tea Roses should be protected in the winter by hilling up the 
earth about stems in the Autumn, and, after the ground is frozen, 
protected from alternate thawing and freezing by covering the 
entire mound with leaves. 
LANDSCAPING DEPARTMENT 
Our idea in maintaining landscape architects is primarily to 
enable our customers to plant our trees, shrubs and roses the way 
they should be planted to secure the most desired effect. For a 
period of five years you could purchase Maloney stock, put a 
plant here and a plant there without any definite idea in mind. 
With a plan before you, it is possible to plant the same amount of 
stock each year but after 5 years you have a well-balanced lawn, 
one that is correct in every way, and in reality it costs no more 
than choosing trees and shrubs haphazardly.
