structions. Cut back tops within six inches of 
the ground. 
BLUEBERRIES, CURRANTS and GOOSE- 
BERRIES. Follow general planting instructions. 
These plants require no pruning until shoots 
begin to crowd, after several years. 
STRAWBERRIES. Dip roots in water and. 
plent immediately then irrigate or pour a pint ~ 
of water around each plant. Plants are easier to | 
handle if roots are sheared off a little, leaving 
them about four inches long. 
GRAPE VINES. Follow general planting in- 
structions. Prune back to one cane and cut this 
cane back to two or three buds. 
PRIVET for hedges. Follow general planting 
instructions. Prune back to six to ten inches 
above the ground. 
EVERGREENS and BROADLEAF EVER-. 
GREENS. These plants are dug with a ball of 
earth and wrapped in burlap. Dig the hole about 
six inches wider than necessary to receive the 
ball of earth; however they should not be plant- 
ed any deeper than they stood in the nursery. 
Half fill the hole with good rich top-soil, pour 
in enough water to fill the hole so that it will 
wash the dirt solidly around the base of the ball. 
Straighten the plant up; cut the wrapping 
around the top of the ball, and fill in remainder 
of hole with dry soil, tamping down firmly. 
Leave a basin-like depression around the plant 
to facilitate absorption of water. Do not make a 
hill, as it compels the water to flow away from 
the plant. All evergreen plants need a mulch, 
which prevents evaporation of water in the soil. 
Peat moss is an excellent material for this pur- 
pose.
