HOW TO PRUNE SHRUBS 
Shrubs so pruned that they are com- 
posed of moderately young vigorous 
growth are the most attractive. Larger 
and more beautiful flowers—larger ber- 
ries— brighter bark—as well as great- 
ar beauty of form and foliage, all these 
will be the reward of he who gives his 
shrubs the little pruning they need. 
In a general way shrub pruning con- 
sists of keeping the old wood cut out and 
the new growth so thinned that the 
plant will have proper balance and not 
be crowded. 
The. correct time to -prune depends 
on the flowering habit of the shrub. 

Those that blossom early in the spring 
or summer are best pruned immediately 
after flowering, for with them pruning 
in the dormant period means the re- 
moval of the blossom buds. Common 
examples of this type are the lilacs and 
Spirea V. H. 
Those shrubs whose flowers are borne 
later in the season. on new shoots should 
be pruned in the dormant period, for 
with them, vigorous dormant pruning re- 
sults in large, splendid bloom. This 
group thrives on rather heavy pruning. 
Common examples are the Hydrangeas, 
Roses, Spirea Anthony Waterer, etc.

HELPFUL HINTS 
IN THE 
SELECTION OF SHRUBS 
The selection of shrubs tor 
a planting is an important 
matter and deserves careful 
consideration. The ultimate 
height and spread ot each 
plant should be understood be- 
fore it is placed on the plan 
or planted. It’s adapability to 
sun and shade should also be 
considered. Judicious use ot 
plants of outstanding color 
will liven the landscape, as 
will brightly colored bark and 
clinging berries in the winter 
time. Season and color of flow- 
2rs must also be given well 
deserved attention to be sure 
that the finished planting will 
have proper color harmonies 
and continuity of bloom. It is 
our hope that the tollowing 
suggestions will be of help to 
the home gardener in making 
correct choice and placing o1 
his shrubs.
