YOUNG TREES, SHRUBS and EVERGREENS

good sense with all plants. The quicker the better—twenty 
seconds per plant is average. 
SOIL should be loose and friable, and absolutely must con- 
tain some humus. Add peat moss if necessary. 
SHADE must be provided for newly planted young evergreens. 
Usually only for the first summer, but very young ones need it 
for two. Deciduous trees, shrubs, vines need none. 
WATER is usually critical the first week or two. Soak thor- 
oughly when planting. Then again the next day. After that 
not oftener than twice a week. But you can spray the leaves 
a few seconds at a time if the weather turns hot. 
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 
oo trim the sides.)
