Kellogg's Famous Flowers 
If your hole is so small that you must 
crowd the roots, or bend them upward, the 
chances are that your shrub or tree will not 
grow. At least it will get off to a poor start. 
And, don’t make a funnel-shaped hole, small- 
er at the bottom than at the top. The hole 
should be at least as large at the bottom as 
at the top, if anything, larger, so that you 
will have plenty of room to spread the roots. 
If the roots touch the sides of your hole at 
any point, it is too small. Make it larger! 
Fertilizing Shrubs 
The best way to provide food for a 
shrub or tree is to put the fertilizer in the 
bottom of the hole. For that purpose you do 
have to dig the hole somewhat deeper than 
necessary for the actual planting. Then, put 
your layer of manure on the bottom of the 
hole. Again, well-rotted stable manure is 
best, and can be used about one inch deep. 
Rotted cow manure is good, and commercial- 
ly bought sheep manure can be used, but use 
it much thinner. Not over Y2 inch deep for 
this sheep manure. The commercially 
bought sheep manure has usually been 
composted, and is therefore suitable. 
Avoid hot manures, such as chicken ma- 
nure. 
Now, after you have put your layer of 
manure in the bottom, put a separating lay- 
er of sand or top soil on top of the manure, 
about two inches deep. Don’t worry, the 
roots will soon reach down through it to the 
fertilizer, and by that time the fertilizer will 
be so well decomposed as to be usable. 
Now, set your tree or shrub spreading 
the roots well, filling the dirt in a little at a 
time, rearranging the roots carefully as neces- 
sary. From time to time, shake the shrub 
gently—not hard—just gently. This will make 
soil settle around it. 
After the roots are well covered with 
earth, you can get in the hole with your feet, 
and press the soil firmly. 
The earth you have been using to fill in 
with is the top soil. In other words, although 
the top soil was at the top in the beginning, 
it goes into the bottom of your hole. After 
you have filled it with all your top soil, start 
adding the sub-soil, but do not put all of it 
in. Leave a depression two or three inches 
deep, and then immediately let water run 
into this and soak down around the roots. 
The best method is to simply let water run 
into the hole from your garden hose, until 
it refuses to soak in any more, then stop. 
Do not fill in the rest of the sub-soil 
for several days, but water it daily as just 
described for four or five days at least, then 
you can fill in with the rest of the sub- 
soil. It will make a mound at first, but this 
will settle.
