ROSES 
Planting. Roses are heavy feeders 
and require a rich loam to produce 
their best. In preparing the bed, dig 
up the ground to a depth of 18-24 
inches and replace about one-third of 
the bulk of the soil with well-rotted 
cow manure or other forms of organic 
matter. If the remainder of the soil is 
poor, replacing it with a good quality 
top soil would prove to be highly bene- 
ficial.

Too Shallow 
Too Deep Just Right 
Dig a hole in the bed large enough 
to receive all the roots without 
crowding, and set the plant as shown 
in the illustration. Then follow same 
procedure as advised for shrubs. Roses 
should be planted 12-15 inches apart 
according to their size. 
Pruning. Roses planted in the fall 
should be cut back about one-half their 
length. When planted in the spring, 
just two or three stems with four or 
five buds on each, should be left. 
Winter Protection. Hybrid Tea and 
Tea Roses should be protected in the 
winter by hilling up the earth around 
the stem in the fall. To protect against 
heaving, which results from alternate 
freezing and thawing, cover the mound 
with leaves and evergreen boughs when 
the ground is frozen. 
Pruning Instructions 
for FRUIT TREES 
All roots and tops should be pruned 
before planting. When properly prun- 
ed, tree should not have more than 3 
or 4 branches. Illustration shows the 
correct way of pruning both roots and 
tops. 
Fruit trees planted in the fall need 
not have the tops permanently trimmed 
until the following spring, 
after danger of hard freez- 
ing is past and before the 
buds start.

HEDGES 
The accompanying illustration gives practical de- 
tails which are self-explanatory. Set hedge trifle 
lower than they were in nursery to get a dense 
hedge at bottom. Dig one side of trench straight 
and in line, place plants against this side to get 
a straight hedge. 
Privet and Barberry hedge should be trimmed 
back to within five inches of the ground immedi- 
ately after planting. 
SPACING HEDGES 
Privet and similar upright varieties—6 to 12 
inches apart. 
Barberry and other medium tall bushy shrubs— 
1 to 2 feet apart. 
Tall shrubs for high hedges—2 to 4 feet apart.

WATER ... The Life Saver 
Newly planted stock needs constant watering 
during the first few weeks. The stock should be 
watered once a day unless, of course, you happen 
to plant during a rainy period. All stock should 
be watered well when first put in. It is not neces- 
sary to have a mud hole, as this would be too much, 
but the soil should be moist.

STRAWBERRIES 
Have ground thoroughly pulverized. 
Plant with a spade | ft. apart in the row 
and 4 ft. apart between the rows. Push 
spade into ground to full depth. Press it 
to one side, insert roots and spread them 
out fan shape and hanging down to their 
full length. Set plant with crown at sur- 
face of earth DO NOT GET CROWN 
COVERED WITH EARTH. Remove spade 
and press earth against roots by placing 
foot on either side of plant. Pull some 
loose soil around plant. Remove all bruis- 
ed or dry leaves.

GRAPES 
Work the soil thoroughly before planting 
Grapes, and dig the hole broad and deep (sev- 
eral inches deeper than enough to receive the 
roots). Fill it up to the right depth with rich 
soil, and firm the earth well about the roots, 
as the hole is back-filled. 
Pruning. The fruit of the Grape is produced 
on the current year’s growth of canes. These 
canes should be pruned each winter so that 
only one of the buds remain on each stub. The 
young plant is trained to one shoot until it 
reaches the top of the trellis, to which it is 
tied. Two canes are allowed to grow from the 
top the second year, forming a framework for 
the succeeding growth. Remove all growth that 
starts on the main trunk as soon as it appears. 
The third year the cross-arms are prun- 
ed back to six or eight buds. These 
produce the bearing shoots. 
PRUNING SHRUBS 
Pruning. When planted, shrubs 
should be pruned back one-third. 
In later years they should be 
pruned to prevent them from 
growing out of bounds. The over- 
crowded and dead branches should 
be removed then.
