PRUNING 
Flowering Shrubs 
Deciduous flowering shrubs will preserve a 
compact, well-kept appearance if they are 
given a thorough pruning following the 
blooming period. Thin out conflicting 
branches, preserving the strongest. Cut 
these back about one-half. Lilacs should 
receive only a light pruning, such as they 
are given automatically when cut flowers 
are taken. 

Flowering trees are a part of the glory of spring. There is no wait- 
ing 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 solu- 
tion containing copper just as the flower buds swell to prevent curly leaf,
