In pruning shrubs, be careful to cut out the long rambling 

 shoots of the last summer's growth, which disfigures their appear- 

 ance. Cut away, also, branches of shrubs which interlace each 

 other, that every shrub may stand clear and well-defined. Take 

 away their suckers, and let each shrub be kept to a single stem, 

 as I have before observed.
