that successful transplanting of trees and 
shrubs depends so much upon tamping or pounding 
the soil firmly on and around the roots and then

Garden “/reatment 
ROM early spring until late in the fall, flowering shrubs maintain a certain fas- 
cination for the gardener and passer-by alike. 
The members of this large family of hardy plants adapt themselves readily 
to most soils and situations and are found useful for many purposes. 
Excellent for 
screen planting, hedges, borders, etc. To insure success it 1s advisable at planting 
time to cut the branches of these plants back at least one half. 
This treatment will 
help the plant to become established and flower earlier than if allowed to remain as 
received.
