While this is all right in theory, many
of us can't find the time to do it
properly when a multitude of other
"must" jobs clamor for attention.
Then, too, maybe we have become
too obsessed with numbers of flow
ers and have not paid enough atten-
ton to their quality,t and the manner
in which they are displayed. Winter
pruning of lilacs consists of the re-
moval of thin, spindling shoots. Then
if the bush seems crowded with twigs,
consider the desirability of thinning
them out for the purpose of giving
those remaining better chance to
develop. At the same time remove
any branches which are spelling the
symmetry of the bush.
The mockorange (Philadelphus) if
left unpruned develops into an in
penetrable thicket of branches which
is admirable if it is required to serve
as screen both winter and summer.
Such bush, however, isn't at its
best in other respects. The older
branches, especially those who
bloomed heavily in 1941, should be
cut off as near as possible to the
base of the bush. One should en-
deavor to leave all the strong shoots
of the preceding year if it can be
done without sacrificing symmetry.
In general, pruning should be car
ried out in such a way that the nat
ural habit of growth of the plant is

Make Whistles Of Your Life.
On these March days, make whistles
of your life
Now that the sap flows and the buds
expand!
Man is a willow tree; in him is rife
That spring whose yellow shoots are
in your hand.
A pine tree may be good for boards
and shingles;
An oak tree may be used for beams
and ships
You are willow tree whose music
mingles
With every piping Of the south winds
lips.
A pine tree needs no April to grow
green in;
An oak trees leaves must wait the
end of May.
But willow boughs warm early, and
are seen in
A whistling mood when March has
led the way.
Seize the quick branches; whittle from
your heart
Notes which make robins fly and
grass to start.

Shrubs which are suffering from
scale insects or fungus diseases, usual
ly can be helped by pruning. Cutting
out the most badly affected branches
reduces the number of bases from
which infection can spread, and opens
up the bush so that the remaining
branches can be more effectively
covered with spray. The removal
of infested wood throws more strength
to the rest of the shoots.

At country fairs

And often they sit
At ease with their neighbors,
Hands busy with work

Thoughts ON Spring Pruning.

Early blooming shrubs like the
lilac produce their flower buds in
the fall so they are ready to grow
as soon as spring arrives. We are
usually advised to defer pruning them
until they have bloomed, because
pruning removes many flower buds.
