Pruning and Spraying 
that proper attention be given to pruning of evergreens, trees 
and shrubs. This requirement cannot be stressed too strongly 
since our own experience demonstrates this point. 
Ie ORDER to maintain a fine, healthy garden, it is imperative 
Evergreens that are prcperly and consistently trimmed in spring 
to overcome lack of ful'ness in some part of the plant or shapeless- 
ness due to uneven grcewth can, without fear, again be pruned into 
a better, more perfectly shaped plant. 
Although this sometimes takes several years, it is worth your 
effort and we know you will enjoy the work and results obtained. 
While with trees and shrubs, the same procedure should be 
followed, it does not always have to be done every season as the 
development -is somewhat differe-t from evergreens. Sucker wood 
and unnecessary branches should be trimmed out whenever they 
appear. This again gives you better developed plants. 
WITH SPRAYING, too much cannct be said about the im- 
peztance of this obligation to your garden. 
Many obstacles are encountered during the year, such as 
weather and humidity which enable insects and fungi to increase 
rapidly ard alarm everyone without actua'ly alleviating the source 
of the trcuble. 
Believing as we do that you may lack knowledge of the proper 
methods to employ in overcoming these hazards, we again want to 
give you our suggestions covering the best possible results to ' 
obtained by a simple method of applying preventives when the 
trouble is rampant. 
For a. successful and healthy garden, spraying should be at- 
tended to early in spring and again in summer if the demand i3 
apparent. 
We have the necessary spray material for your needs and rec- 
ommend items that will give you best results with a minimum of 
expense and labor. 
WE URGE YOU to give this matter your earnest consider- 
ation. Your reward for the efforts applied will be greater satic- 
faction and a more abundant garden.
