PLANTING YOUNG TREES, SHRUBS and EVERGREENS 
Thunberg’s Barberry is slow (as 
shrubs go) yet the 1-year seed- 
ling grew into the full specimen 
in six years! Plant small shrubs 
now and save 80% of what 
they would cost 3 years hence. 
YOUNG VINES 
PLANTING—The first thing is to keep the package 
moist. Only when the planting bed is ready do you 
open it, and even then remove only one plant at a 
time from its wrapping to plant it. This is particularly 
important with evergreens, but good sense with all 
plants. The quicker the better—twenty seconds per 
plant is average. 
SOIL should be loose and friable, and absolutely 
must contain some humus. Add peat moss if neces- 
sary. 
SHADE must be provided for a newly planted young 
evergreen. Usually only for the first summer, but 
very young ones need it for two summers. Deciduous 
trees, shrubs and vines need none. 
WATER is usually critical the first week or two. Soak 
thoroughly when planting. Then again the next day. 
After that do not water oftener than twice a week. 
But you can spray the leaves a few seconds at a 
time if the weather turns warm. 
PRUNING is usually essential. Prune freely. Never 
cut a new plant to the ground, but to a 2 or 3-inch 
stub is all right. Don’t fear to “lose” so much top— 
in a year you'll get it back . . . and more, and 
bushier than if you didn’t prune. (Upright growing 
evergreens, of course, must never have their tops 
cut—you trim the sides.)
