HOW TO PLANT BALLED 
TREES AND SHRUBS 
Balled plants should be handled 
by lifting the ball and not the top. 
Dig a hole large enough to hold 
ball and permit firming the earth 
around it. Place plant with top of 
ball even with the surface of the 
ground. Do not remove burlap. Fill 
in about 4% with soil, then cut top 
string and fold back corners of bur- 
lap. Fill the hole with water and, 
when soaked in, throw in the re- 
mainder of the soil. Firm the soil 
well, leave a shallow basin and fill 
again with water. Water again to 
assure thorough soaking of the ball. 
Do not rely on sprinklers or sprin: 
kling system to do this until plant 
is well established. 
Never place fertilizer of any kind 
in the hole when planting. Small 
quantities of fertilizer may be ap- 
plied when plants are thoroughly 
established and growing.

CARE AND PLANTING OF CANE BERRIES AND SMALL FRUITS 
CARE AND PLANTING OF 
GRAPE VINES 
Plant grape vines in full sun 8 feet 
or more apart. 
Dig a hole no less than 1 foot wide 
and 2 feet deep. Before planting the 
vine cut back basal roots to 5 inches 
and remove all others. Cut back top 
to 2 or 3 eyes. 
Plant vine deep enough to leave 
the bottom eye just above the surface 
of the ground, and loose top soil 
placed around the roots. Fill in hole 
and water immediately. 
CARE AND PLANTING OF 
STRAWBERRIES 
Set crown at surface of deeply 
spaded soil. Leave soil loose; remove 
all young leaves, leaving 2 or 3 of 
the older ones. Cut back roots. Water 
well. 
CARE AND PLANTING OF 
BUSH FRUITS 
Currants and Gooseberries 
Set 2 or 3 inches deeper than in 
nursery. Cut off % the tops, plant 4 
to 5 feet apart, cultivate. Every year 
after fruit is gathered cut out and 
burn all wood 3 years old. Let 5 or 6 
new shoots come each year. 
Raspberries and Blackberries 
Plant in good soil 3 or 4 feet apart, 
in rows 6 feet apart. Set Black Rasp- 
berries so bud is covered just 1 inch. 
Firm soil. Red Raspberries, plant 1 
to 2 inches deeper than they were in 
nursery. Cut back all raspberries as 
soon as planted to 6 inches above 
ground. After fruiting cut out all odd 
canes and burn, leaving 4 or 5 strong 
new canes. 
Bare-Root 
FRUIT TREES 
Plant in sunny well drained soil. 
Break up subsoil and thoroughly pul- 
verize top soil. Use no fertilizer at 
planting time. Prune and plant as 
shown in illustrations at right. Settle 
the dirt by slowly running water into 
basin. Follow by another heavy wa- 
tering in two days after planting. 
A PLAN FOR AN AVERAGE 
CITY LOT 
The mild climate of the Pacific 
Northwest provides ideal growing 
conditions for a wide variety of or- 
namental plants and the opportu- 
nity for making gardens that are at- 
tractive the year around. Plan your 
garden for the maximum use during 
all seasons of the year. 
The illustration on this page, of 
a typical city lot, shows how readily 
you can plan for privacy, beauty of 
form and design, and utility with a 
minimum of maintenance. 
Lawn and gardens are combined 
to assure an uncrowded effect when 
viewed from the house, yet the plan 
provides for all the flowers, trees 
and plants one likes. An ‘outdoor 
living room” can be a positive in- 
fluence for a better family life. Con- 
sult us for details on plant material.
