Planting of Shrubs 
The shrubs we furnish are carefully se- 
lected for healthy specimens with well de- 
veloped root-systems. Plant them about 
1 inch deeper than grown in the nursery, 
using geod top-soil to fill in around the 
roots (no fertilizer added). Water well 
after planting, to settle the soil. The pro- 
cess of planting shrubs and trees is 
simple, it does not need an expert, and 
it is work you enjoy, not a hard job. Spirea Van Houiti
