HOW TO PLANT SHRUBS 
Cut the tops back about one-half or one-third be¬ 
fore planting'. Be careful to have roots exposed to 
air or sun a<s 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.
