About Pruning ( Cont. ) 
Spring and early summer blooming flowering shrubs, 
climbing and shrub roses, should be pruned soon 
after blooming, in the summer months. 
Evergreen trees of all types may be sheared with 
beneficial effect. This work is usually done in the 
late spring at the time that new growth starts. 
The fi ne-foliaged evergreens should be sheared at 
the tips — the coarser types carefully clipped in 
and out in irregular outline, the cuts to be made 
just above branch whorls, where new growth will 
start. 
About Spraying 
There are many prepared sprays on the market. 
They are designed to do three things : 
Kill chewing insects by a stomach poison. 
Kill sucking insects (including forms of scale ) by 
contact. 
Control fungus diseases by application of a 
fungicide previous to or at the time of 
attack. 
When fighting an infestation, results will be surer if 
you can determine which of the types of injury are 
involved and make sure your spray meets the 
situation.
