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. 
Leave soil level with surface of ground, 
except a ring of dirt may be left to form 
a basin for watering. 
After Care of Shrubs 
Keep surface soil loose and moist and 
at even temperature by a 3 to 4-lnch 
mulch of manure or by keeping a dust 
mulch by repeated cultivations. During a 
drouth, water thoroughly, even though 
mulch is applied. 
“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,
