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 
decidedly 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. . j , , ™ , ,. ^ j .^u • 
All Shrubs that blossom before midsummer, such as Deutzias, Forsythlas, Lilacs. Philadolphus, Welgelias. etc., produce their 
flowers on the growth of wood made the previous year. To prune these In fail 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 
wliich blossom 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 bemg just enough to keep the plant in nice symmetrical shape; 
care, of course, being taken to cut out sill dead wood, and removing sufBcient surplus growth, if any, to admit a free circula- 
tion of air and sunshine to all parts of the plant.
