Flowering Shrubs 



BILTMORE NURSERY, (?£ 



•J The judicious planting of shrubs adds greatly to 

 the beauty and value of a property, and contrib- 

 utes a wealth of pleasure and interest to the 

 home. The most effective planting is that of irreg- 

 ular groups or masses against buildings, fences or 

 property lines. Border plantations along walks 

 and drives are likewise desirable. 



BILTMORE

offers the most comprehen- 

 sive stock of deciduous or 

 leaf - dropping flowering 

 shrubs to be found in 

 America. The extensive 

 collection is extremely prac- 

 tical, containing only care- 

 fully grown, vigorous and 

 healthy plants. Over 500 

 shrubs, including Roses, are 

 1$ fully described in the 38 

 pages of the Biltmore 

 Nursery catalogue devoted 

 to this group.

has deservedly been called an 

 encyclopedia of planting facts.

 orately illustrated.
