healthy, dark green, tough and leath-

they hold this size to the end of the 
season. Color dark, rich red.

PRUNING BEFORE PLANTING 
Pruning stock at the time it is trans- 
planted assures more rapid recovery, pro- 
viding less heavy top to be supported by 
the roots which themselves are burdened 
with the task of re-establishing tiny feed- 
ing rootlets. Use a sharp Knife or shears. 
Trees. Remove about one-third of the 
top from average heavy tops, by clipping 
branch ends and removing small branches 
and interfering limbs. Cut off frayed or 
bruised roots just above the point affected. 
Leave one branch or stem to develop into 
a leader. 
Shrubs. Thin out the tops of many 
branched shrubs, removing old wood, and 
cut back average plants about one-third. 
Hydrangeas should be cut back to the 
ground. Remove frayed or damaged roots 
as directed above for trees. 
Fruit Trees. Trim roots as advised for 
Trees above. Peach, Cherry, Apple, Pear 
and Plum stocks in branched sizes, should 
be pruned so that three to five branches 
well placed about the trees should remain. 
Leave a leader for developing. One year 
the desired heading out, usually from 12 
grades usually whips, should be topped to 
to 30 inches. 
Raspberry, Blackberry, etc. Are usually 
supplied cut back. Tops should be re- 
moved to about 6 inches from ground when 
planted. 
Grapes. Cut back roots proportionately 
to development. Tops should be removed, 
leaving one stem with three to four buds. 
Roses. Cut roots as advised for trees 
and shrubs removing bruised and broken 
parts. Cut tops back to three to four buds 
on each stem. 
Privet Hedge. Cut tops back to four to 
six inches above the ground to insure 
dense base growths. Set slightly deeper 
than stocks stood in the nursery.
