Millward About two days after writing last week's ar ticle, I found my Snow- drops blooming under the snow, along with a clump of yellow crocus which were showing colour Since then the Snow-drops have almost finished and the crocus are blooming merrily in the company of some white and purple crocus. This is only in one exposed corner of the garden, the rest is still deep in snow, even after all the rain this past week However, the weather has moderated enough for us to think of and start doing some early spring chores specifically pruning, which should be done now or as soon as it is easy for you to approach your trees or shrubs Pruning is an important job in the garden, for with discriminatory cutting away of branches and limbs; you will create healthy, airy and pleasing plants to view from your yard. When you begin to prune, don't do it in a hurry, stand well back from your work and evaluate what you have done so far, if you think that you have achieved the shape you want, leave it for a few days and if it doesn't bother your eye, then perhaps it should be left alone. At no time should more than one third of the tree be pruned oul in any given year, as the bark could be exposed to sunburn and damage the tree. The only ex ception to this rule is the pruning of fruit trees, which are pruned heavily to promote more and better quality fruit When pruning deciduous trees, try to do them as, early in »the spring as possible, cut oul damage, winter-killed branches branches which may block a Jantzen doorway or a path; take out some of the inner branches to allow light ine iT and air into the centre of the tree, and take out any branches which cross each other and rub together. Small branches may be removed with clippers or garden shears, but branches which are bigger should be cut out with a pruning saw, which is slightly curved. Once the branch 1S removed pare away any splinters with a sharp knife, and all cuts over an inch in diameter should GENTLEMEN'S CLOTHIER be painted with pruning aint, which is available : in a spray bomb or a can 255 King Sir 526-2021 Painting the pruning wounds, prevents the sap from running down the trunk, prevents disease é and vermin from entering Ledies' Clarks the system of the tree Coniferous trees should be pruned to encourage their natural growth and IR to keep them to a height which you prefer, trim out the new growth by one half, on the side candles leaving the leader (trip candle) a little longer than the rest.

However, evergreens such as the pine, spruce and fir should be pruned only if the shape of the tree is not ALL marred, as they will not branch out again from that location again. Flowering shrubs, should be pruned only after the shrubs have finished blooming.

Recently, she said, mothers with small children had been doing most of the leg work, but gradually discovered they didn't have enough time to maintain their families and perform their volunteer duties. Mrs Evans em- phasized that the program's suspension is only temporary. There are still funds on deposit sufficient enough to get the program started again.
