PLANTING SHRUBS 
AND ROSES 
In planting shrubs and roses, 
care should be taken not to expose 
their roots to the air. Before un¬ 
packing the parcel, half-flll a pail 
with soil and add water to make a 
thin mud paste. 
Then unpack the shrubs and 
roses and keep them in this while 
you are preparing the planting site. 
Following the.se simple illrections, 
will prevent the ro<»ts from ilrying 
out, and will enable the plants to 
start growth immediately.
