How To Plant and Prune 
Ornamental Shrubs 

Before Pruning After Pruning 
Remove about one-third of top growth of 
shrub at planting time if Spring planted, or 
following Spring, if Fall planted, to facilitate 
establishment of plant. Tihereafter, 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 re- 
main around each plant to hold the water, 
at least the first summer. 
C. francheti, 5-6 ft. Franchet Cotoneaster 
Gracefully arching branches, bearing large clus- 
ters of brilliant, orange fruits, persisting the great- 
er part of the Winter, makes this a highly deco-
