—for better results with 
Roses, Shrubs, Hedges, 
Trees, Bulbs, Perennials 
Fertile soil, well prepared, is extreme¬ 
ly important. Spade up the soil as 
deep as possible. While still moist, 
break up all lumps and rake until it 
is level and mellow. 
Rotted manure may be spaded into 
the soil but no fertilizer, of any kind, 
should ever be put in the holes where 
it will be in direct contact with the 
plant roots. 
Any soil must be well drained— 
plants cannot thrive with “wet 
feet.” 
under the ground. Be sure soil is well 
firmed around roots. Water foliage and 
ground well and often, but do not water 
in hot sun. 
Prune off tops about 4 to 5" above the 
ground. For best results, mound (or 
hill up) the soil until the top branches 
(after pruning) are entirely covered. As 
the new growth begins to show through 
the mound, gradually remove the dirt 
until the bed is level again. 
Important 
To Succeed with Any Plants 
Never expose roots to sun or wind. 
Plant in well drained, well prepared, fertile soil. 
Water well and often. 
Prune top and roots severely. 
Use fertilizer regularly.

Plant as Soon as Possible 
All Nursery Stock (except some 
Bulbs) should be planted just as soon 
as possible. If you can plant within 
36 hours, unpack immediately and 
put to soak in a tub or pail of water, 
being sure that all roots are under the 
water. Cover tops with burlap. Per¬ 
ennials, or Bulbs should never be 
soaked in water. If the weather is too 
bad, or for any reason you can’t plant 
promptly, carefully “heel-in” the 
plants in fine dirt, in a shady place. 
Planting Roses 
Prepare soil or beds as described 
above. Roses thrive in full sun but 
should be protected from severe 
winds. They prefer a heavy, rich well 
drained clay soil but will do well in 
any good soil if well fertilized. 
Prune off about yi of root, cutting 
out all broken or damaged roots.

USE A GARDEN FERTILIZER ON YOUR

nitrogen but more phosphorus —in proper proportion with all 
the other needed plant foods—to promote deep root growth, 
stiff upstanding stalks, beautiful bloom and fine fruit. That’s
