HOW TO 
Plant 
GRAPES, SHRUBS, 
ROSES 
This diagram shows how your roses, grapes and 
shrubs of all kinds should be planted. Look at it 
carefully. See how the canes are cut back and 
mounded over with soil. See how far below the 
surface of the soil the crown of the plant is set. 
Plant your roses just as this diagram shows, and 
they will be sure to grow and blossom freely. 
The real secret of success when planting roses 
and shrubs, is, First, to cut back the tops 
severely; Second, to water the plant thoroughly, 
and Third, to cover the newly set plants with a 
mound of soil. Do not expose their roots to sun 
or wind to dry out. 
Prune all the canes so that not more than four 
(4) buds remain on a cane. This is very impor¬ 
tant. 
Shorten roots a little, making a smooth cut at 
the end of each root. 
Dig your holes at least 6 inches wider than the 
widest spread of the roots, and deep enough to 
let the plant well down in the hole. 
Put in the plant and half fill the hole with top 
soil. Do not use manure. Tramp the soil down 
hard, then pour in four gallons of water; twenty- 
four hours after this has seeped away, finish 
filling the hole. 
Next draw up the mound of soil, cover the 
bush fully 6 to 10 inches high. This will bury the 
bush completely and protect the canes from 
drying out before growth begins. 
Allow the mound of soil to remain until the 
new growth has pushed through it fully six inches, 
then hoe the mound down gradually.
