Deciduous Shrubs 
A class of shrubs too little planted in our Stata. Few of the evergreens are as free bloomers as 
the best of the deciduous. Of course, they are bare during the winter, but the beautiful, fresh spring 
foliage, so often accompanied by the flowers, more than compensates. To ignore them means to lose 
many of the very best things available for our climate. 
A good general rule is to prune these shrubs when they have finished blooming. This is very 
necessary with such as bloom from the old wood of the previous season ; observation will show which 
these are. To prune them when dormant spoils their chances of flowering. Those which bloom from 
new wood of the current season's growth can be pruned either when dormant or after flowering.
