hedges around gardens and lawns where

Planting of Shrubs 
Our shrubs come with extra large root 
systems. Have the holes for planting dug 
large and deep enough to give the roots 
plenty of room without cramping. Plant 
the 12 to 18-inch sizes about %-inch deeper, 
the 2 to 3-ft. sizes 1 inch deep than grown 
in the nursery. Use no fertilizer near the 
roots, just ordinary top-soil is best. Water 
well after. planting to _ settle the _ soil. 
Branches can be pruned back slightly if 
desired, but this is not necessary.

Please Order Early 
Supplies in most varieties of 
trees and shrubs are below nor- 
mal. So that we can reserve 
your stock for you until the pro- 
per time for planting, we would 
like to have your order in file 
before our supplies are exhausted. At pres- 
ent production costs, nurseries are not 
growing the large quantities of stock they 
have had-in pre-war years. The general 
searcity of nursery stock is.expected to pre- 
vail for several years. 

When, 
watering of shrubs or trees becomes neces- 
during periods of dry weather, - 
sary, take away a little soil, forming a 
shallow basin around each shrub or tree. 
Fill this with water two or three times. 
When the water has soaked away, level off 
with dry soil, which acts as mulch.
