ROEDING’S QUALITY FLOWERING TREES < wate 
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 prun- 
ing after the flowering season. Moderately 
fast growers (cherries, apricots and crab- 
apples) need only occasional light pruning 
to control unruly branches. Flowering 
peaches should be sprayed with a solu- 
tion containing copper just as the flower 
buds swell to prevent curly leaf.
