PRUNING TREES AND SHRUBS.

Shape and FIowering Habits Of Q ma
mental Plants Controlled bv Trim
ming In Early Spring.
A little care given to the pruning of
ornamental trees and shrubs during the
early part Of March will do much co
control their growing and towering
habits and enable the home owner to
have we'll formed plants and we'll train
ed hedges or boundary paintings. The
pruning of ornamental trees and shrubs
is, in fact, one Of the first duties that
may profitably be performed in the
home garden. The amateur, however,
should not make a ruthless assault with
shears or pruning knife upon every.
thing in his yard.
Flowering trees and shrubs that
bloom in the spring or early summer
should not receive radical pruning at
this time, according to the garden spec.
ialists of the department. OF course,
II on these plants there are dead or
weak branches, these should be taken
out, and any crossing limbs that are
rubbing and seriously interfering with
the growth of the brush should be re-
moved. The tips of the limbs, how
ever, should not be cut off, nor should
any young wood that does not interfere
with the growth of the bush be re.
moved. 1t must be borne in mind tina
the blossom buds for this years flower
ing were formed last year, and every
shoot removed takes off that much of
the prospective blossoms.
Trees and shrubs that bear tn cir
flowers in midsummer and which were
not pruned in the fall, may be pruned
at this time. Plants of this sort are
the Rose of Sharon and the shrubby
hydrangea. Where the largest posi-
BILE mass effectis desired, these plants
should be pruned but little. If the aim
is to secure the largest possible trusses
or blossom heads, last years growth
should be pruned back to two or three
eyes to stem. Such severe pruning,
however, is not conducive to the most
attractive development of shrubs.
Climbing roses should not be pruned
at this time except for the removal of
surplus or interfering branches. Every
bit of wood removed now reduces the
amount of bloom the plant will bear
during the coming season. Roses used
in border planting should be treated in
exactly the same way as other shrubs,
except that many of these species will
be improved by having all their old
wood cut away once in every five or six
years. This would mean cutting all the
old canes off within three or four inches
of the ground and forcing the bush to
throw up entirely new wood.
Roses used for cut flowers, like the
hybrid perpetuals, the hybrid teas, and
teas, should be severely pruned The
hybrid perpetuals may be cut "a soon
as freezing weather is past. Pruning
of the hybred teas and teas. however,
should be left until the young growth
has started. In both cases the plant
should be cut to within inches or
foot of the ground. Four or six eyes
to stem is about the proper amount of
wood to leave.

NEW YORK BATTLE
jess willard viii Probably BE Ready
BY March 8, But Champion VIII
Probably Ask for Change In
Date.
BY I'D. CURI4EY.

New York, Feb. to.--Tonl
Jones. manager of jess Willard,
left for Chicago today to see just
what condition Willard is iii. Be-
fore he left. Jones held IA private
consultation with Promoters
Richard and McCracken regard
ing the fight situation. The two
promoters made formal an
nosElceanent today that they did
not believe the champion was 50
sack that there would be n post
ronernent from the original date
of March 4. As the matter stands,
however. Willard Is in i'll health
and there are only three weeks
left for him to get into shape.
with the long iay-off he has en-
ioyed, it is absurd to expect that
he would try to whip himself into
fighting condition within that
short space of time.
In all probability the contest
will be postponed either until
March IS or March 81. the two
open dates at Madison Square
Garden.
There was an underground
r'uuror floating about today that
the postponcment of the match
was n deep-iaid plan to snatch
the fight away from Richard and
McCfaciSesl. That rnnior was
quickly sauelciled for the State
Athletic Commission went on rec
ord with the assertion that Tex
Richard will conduct the bout in
this city and nobody else. Post
ponernerts don't cut any figure:
In case of any obstacle arising
preventing the bout on the sched-
uied date the lighters must fulfin
their engagement at q later date.
