Roses - Flowering Shrubs - fruit trees 25 
Yuccas, Bamboos, Ornamental Grasses 
The use of this class of plants is almost indispensible as landscape material around 
Spanish types of houses, rock gardens, etc., and they are ornamental wherever used. 
They are easy to transplant and thrive under adverse conditions but will respond readily 
to cultivation. Plant in good soil at about the same depth as they were growing in the 
nursery row, using plenty of water to soak the dirt around their roots. Tramp firmly 
around them and afterwards pull up loose dirt to prevent excessive evaporation as with 
any other plant.
