PLANTING DIRECTIONS FOR SHRUBS 
Any good growing soil is excellent. Spade deeply and work 
down well, as you would for a garden crop. Keep shrubs 20 to 
25 inches away from the foundation. Set deeply and firmly, the 
larger growing types 24 to 36 inches apart, with dwarf varieties 
12 to 18 inches apart. Trim back the tops to insure quicker, better 
growth, then keep them cultivated the first year or two, water- 
ing them in the evening during dry spells. After the first year 
they will require little care other than any annual pruning you 
may wish to give them. Each year’s growth will add to the 
charm of your planting, and to the size and quantity of the 
blooms. 
For Raspberries 
ee LEER 
Plant in good growing soil, and for distance apart to plant 
see table below. In planting Black Raspberry tips (l-yr. plants), 
set them so tip (bud in center of mass of roots) is covered no 
more than one inch deep, using care not to break this tip. Too 
deep planting will smother tip. Tamp soil firmly around the 
roots. Black Raspberry transplants (2-yr. plants) and Red Rasp- 
berries should be planted | to 2 inches deeper than they were 
in the nursery. Cut back all raspberries as soon as planted to 
within 6 inches of the ground. Use shallow cultivation, then 
early in June mulch heavily with straw or grass clippings. The 
wood which fruited this year should be cut out after the last 
picking and burned, leaving a few vigorous new canes to grow 
for fruiting the following year. Trim back the ends of the canes 
about one-third early in the spring of each year, and spray just 
before new growth starts with lime sulphur or Bordeaux mixture. 
For Strawberries 
Plant strawberries in good rich, well-drained soil; the crown 
of the plant when set should be at the surface of the ground 
(too deep planting will smother). Tamp the earth firmly around 
the roots, leaving a thin layer of loose soil at the top of the 
ground to preyent baking. Remove all young leaves. It will pay 
to water each plant thoroughly after planting. For distance 
apart to set plants, see table below. It will take about 8,000 
spring bearing plants to the acre, or 10,000 everbearing plants. 
Keep ground clean and well cultivated. It is best to keep blos- 
soms and runners on the everbearing varieties pinched off until 
the middle of July. In late fall when the ground is frozen down 
an inch or two, cover with clean straw, leaves or shredded 
cornstalks, and do not uncover too early in the spring. 
For Grapes 
CARE AND PRUNING 
Plant grapes deeply and firmly in good, rich soil 
about 6 to 8 ft. apart. Annual and careful pruning is 
essential to the production of good grapes, this pruning 
to be done between November and March while the 
vines are entirely dormant. In training to wires, the 
first wire should be about 3 ft. from the ground, the 
second 5 ft. from the ground, with two branches grow- 
ing out from the central stock on both wires, one in 
each direction. ;

PLANTING HEDGES 
Dig one side of the trench straight and plant against 
it to get a straight hedge. 
Dig trench twelve inches deep or more, to receive 
the roots without crowding, and set the plants deep 
enough so that the lower branches will be slightly 
covered with the earth when filled in. Pack good gar- 
den soil firmly around the roots, leaving a thin layer 
of loose earth at the surface to prevent baking. Prune 
tops severely to insure compact and even growth, 
How to Grow Perennials 
Plant in good, rich, well drained ground that has been pre- 
pared the same as you would for any garden crop. The draw- 
ing above shows the proper depth for the various types of 
perennials. No. 1, such as the Iris, should be planted with the 
main root just below the surface of the ground. No. 2, such as 
the Peonies, should be planted with the eyes or buds not more 
than 2 inches below the surface. No. 3, the fibrous-rooted type, 
should be planted with the crown just even with the ground 
level, not below. No. 4, such as the Hollyhock, Lupine and Hi- 
biscus, should be planted with the bud just below the surface, 
and the root tuber extending straight down. Set the low and 
medium growing perennials 8 to 12 inches apart, the taller ones 
18 to 24 inches apart. The more shallow cultivation you give 
them with the hoe, the better they will be and the more attrac- 
tive your garden. During dry periods they should be given plen- 
ty of moisture, especially until well established. A light cover- 
ing of straw, leaves or other coarse litter placed over the bed in 
late fall when the ground is frozen 2 inches down, will insure 
safety, and do not uncover too early in the spring. 
Heeling-In Trees and Shrubs 
Temporary Planting 
It is always best to plant at once if possible. If, however, 
weather or other conditions prevent, then shade trees, fruit 
trees, shrubs, roses and berry plants (except strawberries) 
should be “‘heeled-in’’. Dig trench wide and deep enough to 
hold the roots without crowding, lifting the earth from the 
trench to form a bank. Place the roots in the bottom of the 
trench, packing pulverized moist soil firmly around them, heap- 
ing more soil on the roots and a portion of the tops. If the 
ground is dry, moisten the dirt about the roots. Plant in their 
permanent locations as soon as you can,

PLANTING DIRECTIONS FOR FRUIT TREES AND SHADE TREES 
Haeene nee een ee ne 
See handy Table showing distance apart to plant fruit trees. In setting your 
trees, follow closely the drawings on this page, being careful to set deeply and 
firmly in good soil, then prune the top back severely. The ideal place for small 
fruits such as raspberries, is between the rows of fruit trees; they will then both 
get the shallow cultivation that means best success. 
To produce healthy, well developed fruit, you should spray your trees with 
our General Purpose Home Orchard Spray. We offer this fine new Spray on 
page 22. You will find fruit trees easy of culture; they will do well on almost 
any well-drained soil,

The correct distance apart to plant is often a problem to planters. There are 
no set rules for this, but with our years of experience in planting and growing, 
we are glad to suggest advisable distances to our customers, which will work 
' very satisfactorily in every way.

How to Determine the Number of Trees or Plants to an Acre 
Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the trees or 
plants are apart in the row, and the product will give the number of square 
feet that each tree or plant will occupy; then divide the number into the num- 
ber of square feet in an acre (43,560), and it will give you the number of trees
