Gardening. PRUNING 187. prune very severely; the plants will appreciate it and reciprocate by producing good blooms. All shoots which live through the Winter should be shortened one- third. Never make the misteike of thinking that there is so little bush left that it will be best not to prune at all. Nothing could be more faulty. Teas must be carefully watched for suckers from the stock, which should be re- moved from their'point of origin. The leaflets of the stock are often paler green and not so glossy, and have five to seven leaflets in- stead of three to five as with many varieties. Never prune before eyes start and some may be frozen back if done too Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Dick, John Harrison, 1877- ed.
