Shrubs. In the case of most flowering shrubs 
that are not especially well formed, cut the tops 
back sharply after setting. This may cause the 
shrub not to bloom the first season, but you will be 
amply rewarded by having a fine, compact, sym¬ 
metrical plant ready for blooming another season. 
Roses. Roses thrive best in a medium light, clay 
soil. Before planting prepare the soil by spading 
and thoroughly working over to a depth of about 
18 inches, fill in well-rotted stable manure while 
spading and work it carefully into the soil. After 
the plants are set, for best results cut all branches 
back to within 3 to 4 inches of the top of the 
ground.. The new growth coming out will make a 
much nicer head than if the plant was not pruned, 
and the bushes will bloom all the better.
