Flowering Deciduous Shrubs

SS SS EECCLL_L_L_=_=_=— ee 
plants like hydrangeas, hypercum, bush roses, etc., the bloom on the “tips’’ of the new 
growth, need severe pruning if large blossoms are wanted. 
Constantly renew this young 
wood by pruning in the dormant and semi-dormant period only. On all shrubs, cut out all 
dead and old wood. Lilacs should be pruned only once every six or seven years, and then 
cut back hard. 
Nothing benefits a shrub more than proper pruning. 
When done cor- 
rectly, you will be rewarded with a wealth of bloom and beauty of shape.
