The raspberry cane that springs from the root this year, bears fruit next year, and then dies or becomes so weak as to be worth- less; and the cane that comes up next year bears fruit the year after, thus maintaining the succession. Therefore, every fall or spring the canes that have borne should be cut away near the ground; a certain number (four to eight) of the new ones should be allowed to remain; and these new ones are later cut back to make them upright and to concentrate the bearing area.

Shrubs and trees grown for bloom may bear their flowers from winter or resting buds, or from growing shoots of the season; if the former, they bloom very early in spring, as lilac, flowering almond, deutzia, weigela, for- sythia or golden bell; if the latter, they bloom later after active twig growth begins, as rose of sharon or hibiscus, hydrangea, privet, mock orange, rose acacia, most honey- suckles. If it is desired not to remove (he bloom, those bushes that bloom from resting buds should be pruned or headed back (if at all) after flowering or when in leaf: the other class should be pruned before flowering, or when the plant is 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 Bailey, L.
