(Continued from Inside Back page) 
above the mound, leaving it this way for ten 
days or two weeks, or until the buds start and 
show a desire to grow, when the dirt mound 
can be raked down. Roses handled in this man- 
ner seldom fail to make a good start anda very 
satisfactory growth. : 
RASPBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES, YOUNG- 
BERRIES, LOGANBERRIES, BOYSENBER- 
RIES ahd DEWBERRIES. Follow general plant- 
ing instructions. Cut back tops within six inches 
of the ground. 
BLUEBERRIES, CURRANTS and GOOSE- 
BERRIES. Folfow general planting instructions. 
These plants require no pruning until shoots be- 
gin to crowd, after several years. 
STRAWBERRIES. Dip roots in water and 
'. plant“immediately then irrigate or pour a pint 


of water around each plant. Plants are easier 
to handle if roots are sheared off a little, leav- 
ing them about four inches long. 
GRAPE VINES. Follow general planting in- 
structions. Prune back to one cane and cut this 
cane back to two or three buds. 
PRIVET for hedges. Follow general planting 
instructions. Prune back to six to ten inches 
above the ground. 
EVERGREENS and BROADLEAF EVER- 
GREENS. These plants are dug with a ball of 
earth and wrapped in burlap. Dig the hole about 
six inches wider than necessary to receive the 
ball of earth; however they should not be plant- 
ed any deeper than they stood in the nursery. 
Half fill the hole with good rich top-soil, pour 
in enough water to fill the hole so that it will 
wash the dirt solidly around the base of the 
ball. Straighten the plant up; cut the wrapping 
around the top of the ball, and fill in remainder 
of hole with dry soil, tamping down firmly. 
Leave a basin-like depression around the plant 
to facilitate absorption of water. Do not make 
a hill, as it compels the water to flow away 
from the plant. All evergreen plants need a 
mulch, which prevents evaporation of water in 
the soil. Peat moss is an excellent material for 
this purpose.
