PLANTING AND CULTIVATING SHRUBS. 
I he same directions for the preparation of the soi 1 and planting as given for deciduous fruit trees on page 
4 apply to the average deciduous shrub. We cannot, h owever, too strongly emphasize the necessity of keeping 
the ground free from weeds and grass, and loose by frequent stirring, after being planted. 
Do not fail to properly prune your shrubs as soon as planted. The success of your plants depends upon 
Proper pruning. All deciduous shrubs should be pruned annually. The tops and branches should be cut hack 
one-third or one-half if necessary; all dead branches and weak growth should be removed, and care must be 
exercised not to cut oft the blooming wood. All shrubs that flower on the previous year’s growth should not 
be pruned until June or July, or after the blooming period has passed. To this class belong the Altha?as, Cy- 
domas, Deutzias, I orsythias, Philadelphus, S pi rasa, etc., but such varieties as Ceanothus, Hydrangea, Lonicera, 
DUac. etc., which produce flowers upon the young growth, should be pruned during winter. Do not fail to 
fertilize your shrubs at least once a year.
