PRUNING. 



Every man, before proceeding to act, 

 should haye some idea of what the effect 

 of his contemplated action will be, be- 

 cause, for one reason, lack of such an 

 idea will not save him from punishment 

 if the result of his action is contrary to 

 law. There is, unfortunately, no law 

 of the land to mete out punishment to 

 men who mutilate flowering shrubs when 

 undergoing the annual butchering, digni- 

 fied by being called pruning by the men 

 engaged in the act. 



How often do we see weigeliaa and 

 many other beautiful flowering shrubs of 

 like character robbed of their birthright 

 by having their flowering wood cut 

 away! Sometimes we see broad expanses 

 of shrubbery composed of plants of 

 many different species, caused to resem- 

 ble a mammoth bundle of evenly clipped 

 twigs stood on end during winter and 

 early spring, with nothing much later 

 but green leaves — and all that in most 

 cases from a want of a proper under- 

 standing of the work undertaken. 



No man of ordinary intelligence can 

 be held blameless if he repeats such 

 practices, more especially if he seriously 

 aspires to make horticulture his life work. 

 Pruning is always important work and 

 should never be mistaken for clipping, 

 or clipping for pruning. The object in 

 pruning should be to facilitate the at- 

 tainment of perfection in some form or 

 other, but never to prevent such an end. 

 Clipping is perhaps a necessary horti- 

 cultural evil. M.
