PRUNE EVERY 
WINTER 
PRUNE EVERY WINTER: For 
best results Crape M*yrtles 
should be cut back to One Foot 
of the ground when planted. By 
using B&B in big sizes you get 
better root systems. Then every 
year thereafter, prune them 
back to within two to four in. 
where they were the year be- 
fore, In this way you get much 
larger flowers, thick branches, 
and dense foliage. 
We grow most of ours in 
Balling Soil—it pays to Ball 
them. Write on order if Single 
Stem, or if Bushy Plants are 
wanted.
