Cultural Directions They will be sent to you at the proper 
planting season. Poor success with many plants is often caused by ordering

just starting growth and the ground is still mel- 
low and cool, and in the fall after the first freez-

For the most part these Ornamental fruits are 
not subject to serious insects or disease injury so 
that spraying is not necessary.
