Shade and Fruit Trees.

Shade and fruit trees, according to
their variety, demand a training Of
their various shapes. The aim Of
pruning, therefore. Is to render a
proper. well-balanced shape, prevent
Ing the slender growth which might
cause damage by windstorms, to
open the framework Of the tree to
admit OF light for healthy develop
ment. and for fruit trees to thin out
supcrf1uous branches, preventing
overbearing and consequent weaken
Ing Of the tree. In the case OF roses.
shrubs. etc, the aim should be TO
and vigorous shoots. to produce a
wealth OF perfect flowers.
Some OF our lowering shrubs
bloom early in spring or summer
All such need pruning OF all weak
growth directly after the blooming
period. Others which bloom In late
summer or fall should be trimmed
and cut back in winter or spring
From the foregoing 1t follows that
roses also need pruning after their
first blooms are gone and for the
sake Of keeping the bushes In proper
shape and. to prevent overproduct!on
of inferior flowers. they should also
be cut back In late spring,
