PLANTING AND CARE OF SHRUBS 
: The planting of shrubs is quite simple. All that is necessary is to have the hole of 
sufficient size so the roots will not be crowded. Set the plant 2 to 3 inches deeper es 
it grew in the nursery, then fill the hole one-half full soil and put on one or two buckets 
water, When the water settles fill up the hole with soil. 
. Trimming shrubs, the following rule will apply. Shrubs that bloom before July ee 
should be trimmed after they bloom. Shrubs blooming after July 1st should be trim 
med early in the spring or late fall before frost. 
The best Spray for shrubbery is BLACK LEAF 40. 1 oz. will make 6 gallon 
spray. This is for bugs and aphis. Spray anytime when you see the bugs.
