How to Plant Trees and Shrubs—Cont. 
Dig generous sized holes with 
perpendicular sides (never saucer 
shape.) Put the good dirt to 
one side so that you can use it 
around the roots. Loosen up the 
soil in the bottom of the hole. 
Set trees one or two_ inches 
deeper than they stood in the 
nursery; set shrubs at about the 
same depth they stood in the 
nursery or slightly deeper. 
Spread roots out naturally and 
work soil over and around them, 
Keep putting in good dirt un- 
til the hole is nearly full, tramp- | 
ing the dirt firmly about the 
roots. If the ground is dry, 
pony in a bucket of water. Final- 
ly fill up the hole with loose 
irt which should not be tramp- 
ed (see illustration to right and 
at bottom of page 6). At planting time all trees and 
plants must be pruned if best results are to be expected 
the first year. Trim trees. as shown in the illustration 
on page 4. Cut back shrubs one-third to one-half as in- 
dicated by black lines in illustration to the right. If 
shrubs are heavily branched, cut out a few whole branches 
at the base.
