Note —The French Hydrangeas vary so 
much in color due to their extreme sensitiveness 
to soil conditions that, while we fill orders 
according to color as grown in our soil, we 
cannot guarantee them to be same color when 
planted in other soils.

HOW TO PLANT SHRUBS 
Keep roots covered with damp sack or 
somethig similar and do not let them become 
diy. Spade ground deeply, digging large holes 
with perpendicular sides. Cut off broken or 
bruised roots and cut back top one-third to one- 
half. Plant slightly deeper than they stood in 
nursery. Tamp soil firmly around roots and fill 
top of hole with several inches of loose earth 
to serve as mulch.
