November is a good month for planting nearly all kinds of trees and shrubs. The soil may be prepared in the same way as for Roses, and the standard trees staked thoroughly in order to keep them quite steady.

In a well-planted shrubbery there is a due proportion of both deciduous (leaf-losing) and evergreen shrubs.

b. The stem, which must not be buried.

The former appear to suffer a disadvantage as compared with the latter, because they are bare in the winter, but it must be remembered that their early spring and autumn tints are beautiful, and many of them bear attractive flowers. The following are good kinds:
