PLANTING DIRECTIONS FOR SHRUBS 
Any good growing soil is excellent. Spade deeply and work down well, 
as you would for a garden crop. Keep shrubs 20 to 25 inches away from 
the foundation. Set deeply and firmly, the larger growing types 24 to 36 
inches apart, with dwarf varieties 1Z to 18 inches apart. Trim back the 
tops to insure quicker, better growth, then keep them cultivated the first 
year or two, watering them in the evening during dry spells. After the 
first year they will require little care other than any annual pruning you 
may wish to give them. Each year's growth will add to the charm of your 
planting, and to the size and quantity of the blooms. :
