On hillsides where the beds would wash or when set as specimen in lawns, shrubs may be set into well dug holes in the sod, but for good growth the sod must be kept shaded around the shrub. The hole should be large enough so that the bare roots are not crowded, soil should be loosened up in the bottom of the hole. Spread roots out natur- ally and fill hole with a mixture of peatmoss, sheep manure and soil. Tamp down firmly, and water well. When planting cut off damaged or frayed roots thin out the tops of the shrubs, by removing the old wood, cut tops back one half. LE GARDENS JUST 3 MILES EAST .OF COURTICE HWY.
