PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
FOR SHRUBS 
Our shrubs are easily planted and 
require little care. Any good grow¬ 
ing soil is excellent. Set the plants 
deeply and firmly, the larger, 
broader growing types 24 to 30 
inches apart, with dwarf varieties 
12 or 18 inches apart. Trim back the 
tops to insure quicker, better growth, 
then keep them cultivated the first 
year or two. watering them in the 
evening during dry spells. After the 
first year they will require little care 
other than any annual pruning you 
may wish to give them. Each year's 
growth will add to the charm of your 
planting, and to the size and quan¬ 
tity of the blooms.
