When Spring Comes, Gardens Burst Into Glory 
with the Bleams of 
ROEDING’S QUALITY 
FLOWERING TREES 
Flowering trees are a part of the glory of spring. There is no 
waiting for a show of flowers—the youngest trees reward their 
owners with gay blossoms right from the beginning. The quick- 
growing varieties (peaches and plums) require a severe pruning 
after the flowering season. Moderately fast growers (cherries, 
apricots and crabapples) need only occasional light pruning 
to control unruly branches. Flowering peaches should be 
sprayed with a solution containing copper just as the flower
