HOW TO PLANT AND CARE 
FOR FLOWERING SHRUBS 
PLANNING—The average shrub is planted 
8 ft. apart; the largest ones 4 ft. Consider 
earefully where you intend planting and 
select your varieties accordingly. Don’t plant 
a variety that eventually grows 10-12 ft. 
high beneath or in front of a window or 
porch. Watch sun or shade. 
ON ARRIVAL—If it is impossible to plant 
at once, unwrap carefully, store in a cool 
place or better yet cover the roots with 
ground. Do not allow roots to dry out in 
sun or wind. 
PLANTING—Dig a_ hole one-third larger 
than will comfortably accommodate the 
roots. Any good friable soil that is not water 
logged is satisfactory. One-half pound of 
Bonemeal not in contact with any part of the 
plant but mixed in the soil is useful. Be 
sure to thoroughly tramp the ground about 
the roots. 
WATERING—Water copiously and _ plenti- 
fully especially after growth has started. 
FERTILIZING—Well rotted manure in fall 
and a level handful of 4-12-4 fertilizer every 
60 days is beneficial. 
TRIMMING—Trim only after flowering and 
then cut out only the old browned wood. Re- 
moving the older wood and encouraging the 
new keeps the bush from growing too tall 
and makes for more flowers. 
PROTECTION—While no winter protection 
is needed, a check-up to see that all roots 
are well covered will help. Keep your plants 
healthy by watering and fertilizing regularly.
