Planting and Care of Shrubs 
All our shrubs are carefully selected for 
nice, large root systems. Have the holes 
dug large enough to give the roots plenty 
of room, without ‘‘cramping’’ or bending. 
The- holes should be deep enough so that 
the roots will stand a little deeper than 
grown in the nursery. Plant the 12 to 18- 
inch sizes about % inch deeper, the 2 to 3 
ft. sizes from 1 to 2 inches deeper than 
grown before. How deep the shrub was in 
the ground before digging in the nursery 
ean be noticed easily on the ground-line 
of the canes. Fill in around the roots with 
good ordinary garden soil. Fertilizer should 
not be added to this soil, as it would be 
harmful when in direct contact with the 
roots. Apply a liberal quantity of water 
right after planting. This settles and 
packs the soil properly around the roots. 
The branches may be pruned back slightly, 
if desired, but this is not necessary.

When, during periods of dry weather, 
watering of shrubs or trees becomes neces- 
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.
