How To Plant and Prune Ornamental Shrubs 
Before Pruning After Pruning 
Remove about one-third of top growth of 
shrub at planting- time if Spring planted, or 
following Spring, if Fall planted to facilitate 
establishment of plant. Thereafter, pruning 
should be done to remove old wood and keep 
plant to size desired. Cut off damaged or 
frayed roots just above the point affected. Be 
careful to have roots exposed to air or sun 
as little as possible at any time. 
The important point in planting is to have 
the hole large enough to accommodate the roots 
without 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 basm-sha,ped depression should remain 
f^ ou i ld J each Plant to hold the water, at least 
the first summer.
