in North Car^^a is probably J6i-
uary ahd February. This is contrary
ho tiie tli^al advice; which is to prune
Jn ifte spring after the flowers fade on
spring-flowering plants.
■V^eaver shya that pruning in Janu-,
ary and,-February stimulates new
^owth and increases vigor. 'Wounds
caused, by the cut heal more quick-
ty, ‘and this helps to keep the plant
free from disepses.
-The flcwi^lturistNriys that the
principal dbjection to winter prun-
;ing is.that wood is cutout that would
flower in a few weeks. This is not
so seri6us,:_he said, if care is taken.
Only-the old and less vigorous twigs
add branches should be ; cut out.
“Every gardener should understand
the reasons for pruning”; Weaver
said. “The first reason is to renew
the wood. dead wood should
be removed. Also, it is a good practice
to -r«nove the older branches every
year- or two, so the young vigorous
ihoi^ will have mre room for de-
velpment.
“The secnd reason is to increase
the profusion of bloom. By correct
pruning you get more tvrigs and as
ju residl,-« £oi7e^K>nduig.4aeMa8e^
flowers.
“Third,-to keep ornamental twigs
attract^. Spme plants ate used for
the cbl^ effect of their :twigs in the
winter, sucb..'4>? the red and yellow-
stemmed^ogwpods. Thg , younger
