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 manner seldom fail to 
make a ERs start and a sek satisfactory aN: 
RASPBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES, YOUNG- 
BERRIES, LOGANBERRIES, BOYSENBERRIES | 
and DEWBERRIES. Follow general planting in- 
structions. Cut back tops within six inches of 
the ground. 
BLUEBERRIES, CURRANTS and GOOSE- 
BERRIES. Follow 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, leaving 
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. Fdlow general planting 
instructions. Prune back to six to ten inches 
above the prourd. 
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 tc receive the 
ball of earth; however they should not be planted 
any deeper than they stood in the nursery. Half 
fill the hole with good rich tep-soil, pour in 
enough water to fill the hole so that it will wash 
the dirt solidly arcund the base of the ball. 
Straighten the plant np; 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 facili- 
tate absorption of water. Do not make a hill, as. L 
it compels the water to flow away from the plant. 
All evergreen plants need a mulch, which pre-. 
vents evaporation of water in the soil. Peat 
moss is an excellent material for this purpose.
