PRUNING SHRUBS. 



A knowledge of shrubs, of such an ex- 

 tent that at least their manner of flow- 

 ering is known, should be acquired by 

 everyone intrusted with the work of 

 pruning. It is painful to witness the 

 uniformly clipped appearance of some 

 shrubberies, when it is realized what 

 wealth of bloom had been sacrificed in 

 the clipping process. 



All that is required to prune properly 

 is sufficient intelligence and observation 

 to discern what should be cut away and 

 what should not. The flowering wood, 

 as a rule, should not be cut out. Close 

 observation of the character of the 

 plants, during the several stages of their 

 development, will be amply sufficient to 

 educate any man of ordinary intelli- 

 gence so that he can treat them as they 

 should be treated. B. 



VARIETIES OF LILACS. 



We have a circle of ground twenty 

 feet in diameter, which we desire to 

 plant to the finest lilacs, and have it in 

 mound shape. I would like a full and 

 complete description of about a dozen 

 of the finest varieties. Who makes a 

 specialty of growing lilacs? I note the 

 article on lilacs in the issue of October 

 15, but the writer does not give their 

 habits of growth or hardiness. If I were 

 posted on their different habits of 

 growth, etc., I could select the varieties. 

 The location is Nebraska. 



G. H. P. 



For such a bed as described, I think 

 it would be more satisfactory to plant 

 varieties of Syringa vulgaris entirely. 

 The Persian and Chinese lilacs have a 

 totally different habit of growth, form- 

 ing wide, round and lower heads. The 

 tree lilacs, S. Pekinensis and S. Japon- 

 ica, are too robust. S. villosa is also 

 different in foliage and habit from the 

 varieties of S. vulgaris. 



At the York Experimental Station, 

 York, Neb., over 100 varieties of lilacs 

 have proved perfectly hardy, including 

 many of the best forms of S. vulgaris, 

 quite a few being Lemoine's newest 

 hybrids. Of course, if a succession of 

 bloom is wanted, S. Persica, S. Kotho- 

 magensis rubra, S. villosa and S. Josiksea 

 can be planted, but personally I would 

 prefer a bed restricted to varieties of 

 S. vulgaris. 



I would recommend the following
