PLANTING AND CARE OF 
NEW SET SHRUBS 
Plant two or three inches deeper than they were in the 
nursery. Cut off one-third to one-half of the tops and mulch 
well. Very little pruning is needed after the first year. If 
the bushes get too tall, cut out early in spring near the base 
some of the oldest stalks and let the newer, short growth 
take its place. Shrubs that bloom in May and June should 
not be trimmed until through flowering for the season. 



should have one-half the top 
cut off. This allows the roots to 
become established and a vigor- 
ous growth is then produced.

RUSSIAN OLIVE 
A small tree or large shrub, depending on 
location and training. The grey-green foliage 
contrasts well with other greens or makes a 
good background for red-leaved shrubs such 
as Red-Leaved Barberry or Prunus Cistena 
(‘Red Flash’). The plants are covered with 
fragrant, small, yellow flowers in spring. The 
fragrance is noticeable for some distance 
from them. They are very striking when 
bare in the winter. Recommended for all 
zones. 
SPIREA 
Macrothyrsa 
A new Spirea that is 
rapidly replacing Spirea 
Billiardi. It is more flori- 
ferous, holds its heads 
more erect and the flow- 
ers more compact. It car- 
ries the same desirable 
pink color and is more 
desirable than S. Billiardi 
in every way. Recom- 
mended for all zones. 
HIGH BUSH 
CRANBERRY 
5-6 {t: A handsome, up- 
right shrub that bears an 
abundance of bright red 
berries (see at right be- 
low) that hang on all win- 
ter. The berries are not 
bothered by birds and 
make an excellent jelly. 
The shrub closely ap- 
proaches a dual-purpose 
plant. They are covered 
with masses of white 
blossoms in the spring. 
Recommended for all 
zones. 

SPIREA 
FROEBELI 
18-24 in. A dwarf 
shrub for low plant- 
ings. The flowers are 
a bright rosy red, in 
flat clusters, pro- 
duced in July and 
August. The foliage 
is purple-red in early 
spring and again late 
in the fall. It closely 
resembles Spirea An- 
thony Waterer but is 
hardier. Recom- 
mended for all zones.
