How to Prepare the Ground 
for Planting 
Prepare all shrubs by spading. 
The deeper the ground is’ spaded 
the better. On hillsides where the 
beds would wash, the plants may 
be set in holes in the sod. All ground 
to be set to berries and fruit 
should be plowed and _ harrowed 
before planting operations start.

How to Pi es and Shrubs 
Do not let the roots become dry. Keep them covered 
at all times with damp sacks or something similar. 
Cut off broken or bruised roots just above place of in- 
jury. Shorten any roots that are overlong with a sharp 
knife or sharp pruning shears. See below and next page.
