ABOUT ROOTS 
Cot tired of telling you shrubs are 12 to 18" high or 18 to 24". 
You don’t care about that. Good roots and branches are what you 
care about. You don’t cure a rap for a big, spindly shrub with poor 
roots. 
So, here’s how I’m grading my plants. 
SELECT PLANTS—Big, healthy roots and lots of branches like 
I’ve always furnished. 
EXTRA SELECT——Cre.un of the crop with extra big roots from 
good growing condition and lots of branches. 
THIRD GRADE—Thrown away. Not fit to mail. (DON’T BUY 
this grade somewhere else. Not nt.) 
HOW TO PLANT 
No need to say much about this. Every nursery order I send out 
has complete instructions easy to follow. 
Mostly, low growers are planted 2 feet apart, medium growers 3 
feet apart and the tall growers 4 feet apart. Set out, at least 18 
inches from building foundation. 
The important thing is to have shrubs planned so there will be 
something blooming all season.
