Pruning Shrubs

AS ornamental trees and shrubs are
pruned to aid in the production of
flowers and foliage, the Towering
season necessarily controls the time of
pruning.
Many of the early blooming SIN ubs
develop in their flowers the year be-
fore. and with these heavy pruning
should be delayed until just after their
towering season. Deutzia, spirea,
fOrsythia and many other popular
shrubs are of this character. Soon
after their towering season is over
they begin 10 develop buds for the
next year.
Shrubs needing heavy trimming
should be pruned in early winter.
This viii result in larger blooms on
the remaining buds. Such plants as
the hydrangea, the clematis which
make their towering buds on shoots
grown the same year should be pruned
heavily while dormant, as this will
give a greater profusicn of shoots on
which to develop new buds.
Men pruning hdfdy uecluuous ho"-
eriug shrubs all dead wood should be
cut out. struggling branches either
shortened or removed and all suckers
arising from the roots should be de-
stroved Where shrubs are planted in
clumps branches that interfere with
other branches should be cut out. 1t
is good idea to cover the wounds
with white lead or grating wax, as If
stub is left uncovered the healing
of the wound will be LETT until the stub
is rotted out. and the gotting stub
will be a lodging place for bacteria
and fungus. Cut the branch OFF clean
and close to the main stem. avoiding
any stub. and cover the wound with
grating wax melted and applied hot,

BREAD MAKING.

Some cooks prefer to set a sponge
when making bread, allowing It to
rise in the shape of a well-beaten bat
ter before adding -four enough to do
the k1eading. "Sponging" makes a
fine-grained bread. but it lengthens
the time required for making. as two
risings are needed after [, sponge
is light.
Bread may be made from water
done instead OF half and half" as
milk and water bread is called. Water
bread is tougher and sweeter and
keeps better than that made from all
