When Shall I Prune My Shrubs? 
One of the annual problems of the home owner is when and 
how to prune his shrubs. Pruning should be done but to ac¬ 
complish a definite object. On request we will send a type¬ 
written copy of our radio talk, together with specific pruning di¬ 
rections for the different shrubs we catalog. Just ask for “When 
Shall I Prune My Shrubs.”
