FLOWERING AND ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
THIS class of shrubs should be planted more in our home grounds and our gardens, as they make a great attraction and decided 
homelike appearance. A selection of these shrubs will give flowers throughout the season, and have an abundance of foliage 
which will add greatly to the beauty of your lawn or garden. 
The question of when and how to prune shrubs is one that is frequently asked, and as no hard and fast rule can be given, we can 
but indicate in a general way what should be done. 
All Shrubs that blossom before midsummer, such as Deutzias, Forsythias, Lilacs, Philadelphus, Weigelias, etc., produce their 
flowers on the growth of wood made the previous year. To prune these in fall or spring would be to destroy most of the flowers for 
that season. These, therefore, should have any necessary pruning done immediately after flowering. Varieties which blosson after 
midsummer produce their blooms on wood made the same season. This class includes such kinds as Altheas, Hydrangeas, etc., and 
these should be pruned in early spring. In our judgment, Shrubs are, as a rule, pruned too much, all the pruning, or rather trimming 
that is necessary being just enough to keep the plant in nice symmetrical shape, care, of course, being taken to cut out all dead wood, 
and removing sufficient surplus growth, if any, to admit a free circulation of air and sunshine to all parts of the plant.
