Advice Given About Pruning Os Shrubs One of Features In Ob serving Home Demon stration Week In connection with the observance of National Home Demonstration Week, one feature is stressing the correct way of pruning shrubbery. Miss Rebecca Colwell, home agent, has released the following information on the subject: ;* Before undertaking to prune a shrub we should understand why it is pruned as it is and also have a clear knowledge of its natural habits of growth. All shrubs should be prun ed to conform to their natural shape and not pruned to make a horizontal plant out of a pyramidal one. Some of the more important reasons for pruning shrubs are: (1) To offset the loss of roots at transplanting time. If few roots are taken up with the plant or if the roots become dry before planting, usually one-third to one-half the top should be removed. The exact amount to remove all depend of course on the amount of roots taken up with the plant and other factors. (2) To increase the profusion of flowers. This can be accomplished both by top pruning and root pruning.

If the shrubs bloom principally on new growth, it should be "thinned out” to stimulate as much new growth as possible. (3) To rejuvenate old and unsight ly plants. By removing old canes, many shrubs take on a new appear ance and blossom freely again. (4) To remove diseased twigs and insect pests. This is one of the most feasaljle means of controlling many of our plant diseases. (5) To make it possible to grow plants in restricted. places and to make growing shrubs compact. This type of pruning should be done at frequent intervals so as to do very' little cutting at any one time. The shears should be strictly avoided and often the fingers will be all that is needed in pinching off the most vig orous runners. To reduce the plant in size, the hand clippers should be used to reach in and cut out some of the most protruding branches, this not only takes off some of the growth, but thins it from the inside and lets the sunlight penetrate inside tha plant. (6) To keep plants formal in out line for formal .gardens. This type of pruning we call topiary work and is commonly practiced on such plants as Carolina cherry laurel, arborvitae, hemlocks and other plants when they are used i formal places. Fundamental Principals of Pruning Evergreens—ls evergreens must be used in restricted places or if they Have a tendency to become too open, they should be pruned at frequent intervals during the growing season. Again the shears should be avoided (and all other times except in case of formal hedges) and the hand clippers used to remove some of the faster growing branches. Remember to con form to the natural shape of the plant when pruning and to allow sun light to reach the inner part of the plant where possible. Flowering Shrubs—Many of our flowering shrubs and evergreens re quire very little, if any, pruning es pecially where they are used in bor ders .and allowed to develop naturally. The only pruning they will require, if any, is perhaps an annual “thinning out.” Those shrubs such as For sythia, Spireas and Weige|as that form their flowering buds the pre vious year and bloom in the early spring should be pruned immediately after flowering. Those shrubs that form their flowering buds during the Scurrent season and bloom during the summer and fall such as crepe myrtle | and hydrangea should be pruned in late winter or early spring. All flow ering shrubs should be kept rather open by pruning out the older canes at the base of the plant and perhaps removing some of the younger bran ches when they become too thick. In no case should the plant be “dehorn ed” or cut across the top, and they should not be pruned too severely at any one time. If some of the top must be removed, it should be done by going slightly inside the shrub and prum'ng some of the larger bran ches leaving the small ends unpruned. Time To Prune Flowering shrubs should be pruned as just described or a small amount of pruning can be done on them at any time. Evergreens to be pruned should be pruned several times dur ing the summer, removing very little growth at any one time. If the shrub has been neglected for years and needs a severe “cutting back” to put it back in shape, this should be done in late winter or “early spring before growth starts. Where the plants must be too severely pruned, it is better to reduce the plant to half the desired size the first year and complete the pruning operation the following year. Most of the flowering shrubs should be pruned, if desired, soon after they bloom.
