When the Lilacs Bloom 



around the Home 



When Springtime's Glory chases Winter's Gloom, when 

 Lilacs and Spiraeas vie with Mock Oranges and Golden 

 Bells to make our gardens a veritable fairyland, then it is 

 that you wish for more of these Spring treasures. And 

 then you discover that you have to wait another year; for, 

 like most plants that bloom early, Spring planting partly 

 robs you of the first Spring's bloom. 



Spring Flowering Shrubs to be 

 Planted This Month! 



Here is a selection of the choicest among early flowering 

 shrubs that should be planted now, for best results next Spring: 



Azaleas Honeysuckles 



Barberries Lilacs 



Blueberries Mock Oranges 



Deutzias Pavia 



Dogwoods Snowberries 



Golden Bells Viburnums 

 Indian Currants 



-and don't forget PEONIES 



Peonies must be planted this month, if they are to reward you with 

 flowers next June. Here at Rosedale we nurse the peers of Peony- 

 dom and you'll be delighted with the quality of Rosedale Roots.
