Planting Aids 
A shrub or plant crowded into a hole 
dug out of the sod cannot be expected to 
produce satisfactory results. Beds should 
be dug at least a foot deep and the soil 
made loose and friable. Unless the soil 
contains plenty of fertility, well-rotted 
manure should be thoroughly mixed with 
the dirt, but never put in contact with 
the roots. 
Some “puddle” roots to prevent drying 
out from sun or wind. This is dipping 
roots in a molasses-like mixture of water 
and loamy soil. 
Cut off bruised or broken roots 
smoothly. 
Set plants about same depth as they 
stood in nursery. In lighter soil plant a 
little deeper. 
Pack good soil firmly about roots. Wet 
the soil, if needed, when hole is partly 
filled. Then shortly after, unless ground is 
moist, shrubs should be watered, but in 
heavy soils too much water will injure 
the plants. 
Crapemyrtle —- A half hardy shrub 
blooming all summer, red or pink. 
Hydrangea, Arborescens Grandiflora— 
4’ to 5’—A most popular shrub with flow¬ 
ers similar to the familiar “Snowball” in 
appearance, snowy white and imposing. 
July-September. By cutting bush to the 
crown each spring, it can be kept round 
and dense at 3’ to 5’. Endures partial 
shade. 
Hydrangea, Paniculata Grandiflora —5’ 
to 6’—Produces massive plumes, first snow 
white, then pink, then reddish bronze and 
green, from August until October. Beauti¬ 
ful as specimen shrub or in masses. 
Lilac, Budded — Double blue, 
white and purplish red (single).

After Care of Shrubs 
“Received your shippment of trees and 
roses in good shape. Same seemed to be 
of good, healthy stock and am well pleased 
with them. The weather and soil are 
ideal for planting and they were planted 
the same day received.”—H. O. Phares, 
Shelbyville, Ind. 
Keep surface soil loose and moist and 
at even temperature by a 3 to 4-inch 
mulch of manure or by keeping a dust 
mulch by repeated cultivations. During a 
drouth, water thoroughly, even though 
mulch is applied. 
Heckrotti Honeysuckle (Blooms all sum¬ 
mer)—A low semi-bush half-vine-type of 
Honeysuckle. Extra large trumpet coral 
and orange blossoms. 
We are proud of Neosho’s new Court 
House and our part in making it at¬ 
tractive. Mr. Davis, the architect, 
writes as follows: 
“Your trees received today. Now the 
many trees that I have ordered, from 
other nurseries, your were the best wrap¬ 
ped and the roots better protected than 
any order I have ever received. Thanks 
in advance for the good fruit they are 
sure to produce.”—J. C. Akins, Service 
Station, Carthage, Texas. 
“We received thirty-five trees from you 
today. These are the best I ever saw and 
they look very muoh alive. We are more 
than pleased. I will order two or three 
hundred more this fall. We will recom¬ 
mend your trees and service in our local¬ 
ity all we can.”—Darwin Goodall, Delores, 
Colorado.

Dear Sir: 
Good landscaping and planting is 
surely as important as good design in 
determining the final appearance of an 
architectural project. 
I wish to express my appreciation 
of your splendid work in landscaping 
the grounds around the Newton Coun¬ 
ty Court House. 
Mr. M. Vaughn Woodard, your land¬ 
scape architect, has shown unusually 
good taste in the choice and arrange¬ 
ment of the planting, and your com¬ 
pany has furnished him with excellent 
plant material to carry out his design. 
Yours very truly, 
NEAL C. DAVIS,
