Juat 18, 1344 (Hsm'dOimOnDg f . , By ULLIE HIADSEN TTacaQsay f- Early tnraner pruniai of shrubs which have bloomed In late' sprinf should 4 be dane new. ; This : in cludes your early blooming epireasJ i Clilie Maen , to bead the forsythU (you should have p runed thii sometime Ya t o) the flowerjni quince and al mond, broom i and . others. -, v Particularly pireas and-for-gythia are- bettei off for heavj pruning. ; In the . . ; . iiowennz uumcc . it is usually sufficient ' back, take out diseased limbs and , remove those rubbinf against each other. The flowering almond is usually better off for a little thin ning out at :the base. ' Careful pruning must be done to the 1 brooms. Cut off broken twigs and gently head back the! remainder. Daphnes; I've found, take much more kindly to pruning than I had upposed some years ago. I won dered at the lovely shaped daph nes I saw in commercial gardens in comparison to the sprawly ones I viewed in my own. But at that time I supposed there was noth ing I could do about it. I took it for granted mine wert just prone to grow that way. Buti I was mis taken. One of the Icommercial growers told me to PRUNE. Well, I, did, and It does help, although 1 admit I was wary of pruning too much for fear I would "sacrifice next year's bloom,. But. I" will prune again next, year following blooming, and perhaps eventually I'll get wound to a complete job. Rhododendrons and azaleas do not require much pruning unless there are broken branches.. The forming seed pods should be pick ed off. Lilacs may be headed back if they are getting out ot hand. The seed pods on these should also be removed. ;' Yi.;54 y j Mrs. D7L.' S. asks if it would be possible to transplant peonies at this time of the year, also a small holly tree about three feet high. She adds that she is moving to another house and wishes to take these with her as she raised the holly tree from a twig, Well as she stands to loose them anyway, she might ' try moving them, with her. Unless she could make an agreement whhthenew owner of the place that would en able her to come back at the prop er time to remove the plants. Peo nies should be transplanted in August - and the" olly had ; best wait until the rains set in in au tumn. ; However, if for some rea son, they are absolutely to be moved now, take .as much soil with them as . possible, so ' as to disturb the roots no more than ab solutely necessary. And then re member, never let "thenr dry out - at all - during the summer. This is particularly for the holly; . She might remove a large bit of soil with the peony and then keep it watered until early August The holly will suffer considerable set back and, will have to be nursed long for two or three summers, before it will be entirely at home v after transplanting. ' 1 Y Mrs. N. V. B. writer that her sister has a camellia that is about - seven feet high. She has lived in "''the same house for 12 years and in that time the camellia has nev v er bloomed. It is on the west side of the house, only a few feet from a large holly tree which shades i from the restBut it gets, some sun -from the souths She adds -that it has been pruned like a rose tree, with, no . foliage front the ground for at least four feet up. The eaves are beautiful with no mot tled leaves, but she wants bloom. 2s she sure she has a camellia? do not know of any camellias which do not bloom, and tan find no listings of any in my encyclo pedias. ; Of - course, pruning . a camellia; in the shape of a rose tree, .is not the natural way. r It likes its foliage left to the ground, but I have seen some pruned up rather high which, nevertheless, did bloom. Perhaps growing con ditions are not right The camellias Eke a mulch around them and this may extend up to three or four in ches. Fertilizer should be added to the soiL Either a balanced com mercial fertilizer or a well decay ed cow barn fertilizer is accept able, j The shade of the holly tree will not bother the camellia as camellias will grow in rather dense shade. Their preference is for half sun and half shade. - Good drainage is best, but the plants must have water during their j growing season . and when they are forming their buds. In the autumn we sometimes forget that the little drizzly rain does not reach down to the very roots of our shrubs. We should give: them good soaking and then let the moist air keep the soil from dry- ing out V I V But if Mrs. N. V. B.'s sister has a camellia and gives it proper care, it should bloom. She doesn't keep pruning off the new divisions which set. the flower buds, does she? 'Camellias shouldn't be pruned into any shape but the nat ural shape in which it grows. L.
