Some of the most desirable of shrubs are those of 

 the heath family. Some varieties bloom through- 

 out the winter and along into spring. They will 

 grow best in rich soil and require little pruning; 

 all that is necessary is to cut out the stems bearing 

 the old flowers after the flowers have died. 



The flowering currant is a native of Calif ornia 

 and is one of the finest shrubs to be found. Like 

 most shrubs it requires a rich, somewhat moist, 

 though well-drained soil in order to make the best 

 showing.
