Shrubs Home Grown Shrubs for Western Planters 
The finest and most complete line of shrubs ever assembled for the West. Grown in the West, under 
irrigation, they flourish where others fail. Before planting, thin out the tops of many branched shrubs, 
removing old wood, and cut back average plants about one-third. Hydrangeas, Buddleyas and Tamarix 
should be cut back to the ground. Remove frayed or damaged root just above the point affected. Shrubs 
should be set at the same depth or slightly deeper than they stood in the nursery, as shown by the collar 
or bark at top of roots. Spread roots out naturally and work in the best top soil about the roots, tramping 
firmly with the feet. If soil is dry, water well before hole is filled with soil. Lastly fill the hole level, but 
do not mound up as this tends to shed water away from roots and holds back growth. Don’t tramp down 
the top soil, but leave loose to prevent baking and cracking.

very large double flowers in late Summer. Specify Red or
