Flowering Shrubs 



Keep Your Garden in Bloom all Summer 



The fullest loveliness of your garden, lawn or avenue is much dependent on your shrubs and trees. 



Don't choose those with ragged, insignificant flowers or those which dazzle during the blooming 



season and then grow shabby and commonplace. 



A succession of color throughout the season may be obtained at a reasonable cost by judiciously 



planting a proper selection of flowering shrubs. 



Because many people find it hard to pick out the 

 best selections, we offer the following suggestions. 



abundance of rosy pink flowers in early May 

 before the leaves appear. 



HIBISCUS (Althea) Syriacus. Rose of Sharon. 

 Abundant and continuous bloom through August 

 and September. As they bloom on new wood 

 only, must be trimmed in winter. Flowers pink, 

 purple, red and white, and in varying shades, 

 single and double. 



HYDRANGEA grandiflora alba. Hills of snow. 

 4 feet. This new introduction bears large clus- 

 ters of sterile flowers and of clearer white than 

 the type, lasting and abundant in midsummer.

 feet. Upright, bushy growth; dark green leaves; 

 large heads of enduring white flowers; superior 

 to the common sort.

 Sweet Syringa. 5 feet. Well known and valu- 

 able for its sweet-scented white flowers in June.

 ing Deutzia. Double; petals faintly tinged with 

 rose. 



HYDRANGEA grandiflora. 5 feet. Bearing 

 immense pyramidal panicles of flowers from 

 August to frost. Flowers lasting, at first white, 

 changing to rose color at age.

 stamens. A profuse bloomer in spring and 

 again in late autumn.

 acquisition of recent years. Awarded the only medal given 

 for sweet corn by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 

 67 years. 



De hue's Golden Giant is the result of 12 years' selection from the 

 product of the Howling Mob crossed with Golden Bantam and 

 combines all the good points of both parents.

 inches long; cob of small diameter, carrying from 12 to 22 rows of long 

 broad kernels of deep orange color.

 all the late varieties in quality and early maturity. Growers report that 

 it is from 1 to 2 weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. It is the one corn for 

 the home or market gardener who wants the greatest amount of highest quality corn in the shortest period of time 

 from the smallest piece of land. Illustrated circular "How to Know and How to Grow a Perfect Sweet Corn"
