C); small circles for the low or dwarf shrubs 
(Key A). The larger the shrub, the farther apart 
it will be planted (see planting distances at bottom 
of page 37). It is a good idea to make larger

a Sketch you can simply make a “Planting 
Record”? with notations showing where each 
shrub, plant or tree is to be planted.) 
in selecting the taller growing shrubs (Keyed D

B and C) in the medium size circles and the 
names of the dwarf and low growing shrubs in 
the small circles (Key A). Then make up your 
order from the Sketch. (If you have simply made 
a “Planting Record’”’ you can easily make up 
your order directly from it. Retain the Sketch 
or ‘‘Planting Record”’ to be used as reference in 
planting when your order arrives).
