new fresh growth. Hardy Climbers 
and Hybrid Perpetual Roses should 
NOT be pruned after the first year 
except to remove branches, dead or 
damaged in winter. 
Warning 
All Hybrid Tea Roses should be well 
mulched and protected in winter. 
Climbers should be taken down, wrap¬ 
ped in straw or leaves and burlap 
AFTER the first killing freeze in Fall. 
Shade Trees 
Cut out all broken or damaged roots. 
Cut about ^ 2 " off the end of each 
root—using a clean, bias cut to ex¬ 
pedite rapid healing and early vigor¬ 
ous growth. 
Prune out F 3 to ]/* of the top 
branches—balancing the tree head, 
eliminating possible weak crotches. 
Many authorities do not advise short¬ 
ening the leader (main stem) of a 
shade tree but it can be done if you 
wish to develop a thick low headed 
tree. 
The lower branches on Lombardy 
Poplars, trees foi windbreaks, 
screens, etc., may be shortened but 
should not be cut oft close to the 
tree trunk. 
Staking Shade Trees 
Do not use wire unless encased in pro¬ 
tective rubber tubing or hose and do 
not tie tight enough to restrict free 
flow of sap. Be sure bark of tree cannot 
be injured by rubbing against stake. 
Planting Hedges 
Set up a string as “straight edge.” 
The trench should be 12 " to 15 " wide 
with the center of the trench at least 
1 to 2 feet inside the side walk or 
property line so that the mature 
hedge will not encroach on other 
property. 
Prune off about of roots using 
sharp knife or shears. Plant the 
hedge in the center of the trench, 
evenly spaced. 
Be sure soil is well firmed around the 
roots. Hedge Plants are usually very 
dormant and must be watered extra 
well and often. In planting and fill¬ 
ing trench, let water run right into 
the trench—this thoroughly settles 
the dirt, removes all air pockets and 
insures good results. 
Do not mound up plants—leave 
trench slightly lower than ground so 
as to retain the water.
