ABOUT PRUNING SHRUBS 
Trim or prune your flowering shrubs in sum¬ 
mer after they have bloomed, rather than in early 
spring. Early spring pruning cuts off the flower¬ 
ing branches and prevents the shrub from bloom¬ 
ing.

one different, of our selection for $1.00. At the 
end of our season we take our surplus shrubs and

I received the Rose of Sharon and
