HOW TO PROPERLY PLANT A SHRUB 
pene o Having decided upon the location, a hole approximately one and one-half 
va Pa ‘ ees times the depth and twice the diameter of the ball of earth around the 
enfaney of . plant’s roots should be dug. With a planting mixture of about 50% peat 
Balled ¢ rte. Feta together with 50% soil removed from the hole, re-fill so that when the plant 
ss Ae is placed it will rest at the same level that it did in the container or in the 
nursery row. To this mixture add a good, organic fertilizer (the amount 
Y Planting determined by the size of the plant) and mix in well. Remove the plant 
from container or loosen burlap and set plant in hole, fill in around sides 
with soil mixture and water in very thoroughly so as to prevent formation 
of air holes. Water the plant thoroughly and frequently until sure that it is 
well established. A shallow “saucer” left all around the plant to hold 
moisture and about 1” of mulch placed around the plant will prove highly 
beneficial.
