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