DECIDUOUS SHRUBS
' A Pruning Suggestion Do not prune back’any of the deciduous foliage shrubs or • trees, most of which have made almost all the growth they are likely to make this season. The cutting will only cause many undeveloped lateral eyes to break, and, by so doing, will reduce the value of the spring flowering or late autumn foliage display. Take the purple-foliage plums as a case in point. To shorten the matured stems now would spoil the whole year's work. Any' shaping that is necessary should be left until 'the (trees are out of leaf, when a light, stubbing might with advantage be done here and there to a tree that has made too much wood during 1934. After the spring display is the time to prune almost any of the early flowering trees.
