DANIELS 
HARDY ORNAMENTAL 
SHRUBS 
Ornamental shrubs are the backbone of all 
landscape planting. Whether one is building 
an outdoor living room, constructing a foun- 
‘ or making other border 
plantings, hardy shrubs are indispensable. 
Much beauty and individuality may be se- 
cured through the varying heights, forms, 
flowers, barks and foliage of the different 
dation planting, 
varieties. 
Of the hundreds of different shrubs, the 
ones we are growing have proven themselves 
the cream of those suited to the Northwest. 
Every one has its special merit. By selecting 
the proper assortment for each situation one 
can build oneself a home landscape of sur- 
passing charm and beauty. 
Only the 12-18 in., 18-24 in., and 2-3 ft. sizes are

PLANTING NURSERY STOCK 
Most nursery stock may 
be planted in either spring 
or fall with equal success. 
Spring planting starts as 
early as the ground is in 
good “working” condition. 
Stock may be planted as 
long as it is dormant, but 
the earlier it goes in the 
better. Evergreens must 
be planted before any new growth starts. 
Fall planting of evergreens starts in early 
August and continues until freeze-up, but 
the fall planting of shrubbery and other 
deciduous stock does not usually start until 
early October, or as soon as the plants 
become dormant. 
Bare roots of plants must be protected 
at all times from undue exposure to sun 
and wind, as even a small amount of “dry- 
ing out” will definitely impair the chances 
of the plant making a satisfactory growth. 
The hole for planting should be larger than 
the spread of the roots and only the best 
black topsoil should be used around its 
roots. It is safest not to use any manure 
in the hole, although pulverized peat mixed 
with the soil may be highly beneficial. The 
roots should be well spread, the soil worked 
carefully around them (avoiding air pock- 
ets) and then well firmed by tramping or 
by ‘water packing” with a running hose. 
Most deciduous stock is planted a trifle 
deeper than it grew in the nursery, but 
evergreens are placed just as they grew 
before. 
After planting is completed a slight de- 
pression, or basin, should be left around 
the plant to facilitate the intake of water. 
As soon as planting is completed thor- 
ough watering follows. The hose, with 
nozzle detached, should be allowed to run 
at the base of the plant, thoroughly satur- 
ating the ground around the plant.
