SUGGESTIONS ON PLANTING SHRUBS 
The best time to plant shrubbery is early spring, 
as soon as the ground is dry enough to handle. 
Any fair garden soil well drained is suitable. 
Dig a hole that is six inches larger all around 
than the root system when spread out. Long 
straggling or broken roots should be cut back. 
Loosen soil at bottom of hole, spread roots natu- 
rally and set the plant about the same depth 
as it grew in the nursery, fill in soil and tamp 
around the roots, water heavy, and pull loose 
soil around the plant. The top of the plant should 
be cut back severely, usually one-third to one-half. 
It is not possible to give any specific informa- 
tion as to how far apart to plant shrubbery unless 
one knows the use for which it is intended, but 
plants should be given plenty of room. When 
plants begin to grow give a handful of complete 
fertilizer.
