SHADE AND LAWN TREES 
AS TO THE PLANTING OF SHRUBS, SHADE TREES, EVER¬ 
GREENS, ETC.-The average amateur planter has much to learn. 
(We say this with all due respect to those who know how.) Many 
ornamental trees and shrubs do not grow as they should because 
the holes are not dug deep enough or broad enough or because 
the roots are cramped and because the soil is not firmed well 
enough around them. The hole should be at least twice as large 
as the roots appear to need. Soak the holes with water if land is 
dry, and soak the balls of Evergreens. Don’t take off the burlap 
but loosen it around top, see planting direction pamphlet. After 
setting the specimen in center, gradually fill in the soil and firm it 
as you fill. Usually the trees and plants should be set 2 or per¬ 
haps 3 inches lower in their new location than they stood in the 
nursery row. This point can easily be determined by the planter.
