Plan ting Perennials 
Perennials are best planted with trowels or 
similar hand tools. Remove badly injured or 
dried up leaves, trim long straggling roots 
back and cut out bruised or damaged parts. 
Plant so that roots spread out or extend down 
naturally. Don't crowd into small holes. Plants 
with crowns should have the crowns slightly be- 
low or at the surface of the ground. 
PLANTING ROSES 
Roses require thorough cultivation of the 
soil and are gross feeders, necessitating rich 
ground or heavy fertilizing for best results. | 
Plant all graft joints so that they are at least 
two to three inches below ground level to pre- 
vent the strong root stock from sending up 
shoots which will smother the budded top va- 
riety. 
PRUNING BEFORE PLANTING TREES 
Remove one third of the top, clipping branch 
end and removing small branches. Cut off 
bruised roots just above the point affected. 
ratte one branch or stem to develop into a 
eader. 
SHRUBS 
Thin out the tops, removing old wood, and 
cut back one third. 
ROSES 
Cut back bruised roots, cut off broken tops. 
Cut tops back to six inches from the ground 
after planting.
