How To Plant and Prune 
Ornamental Shrubs 
Before Priuring After Pruning 
Remove about one-third of top growRh of 
shrub at planting time if Spring planted, or 
following Spring, if Pall planted, to facilit^e 
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 not to have roots exposed to air or sun 
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 basin-shaped depression should remain 
around each plant to hold the water, at least 
the first summer.
