In planning a new or considering the improvement of an old home one of 

 the first thoughts in the minds of our home-loving people is the very natural 

 desire to make their place attractive and pleasing, a beautiful picture, not 

 only to themselves, but also to others. It usually, then, becomes simply a 

 question of how to secure and maintain the greatest amount of beauty the 

 ground will admit of at a reasonable expense. Shrubbery must be considered 

 and provided for. 



The following Shrubs are adapted to our climate. All are strong and 

 especially prepared for permanent planting, being bushy and well-rooted and 

 in perfect condition.

A. Glandulosa — An exceedingly attractive plant of rapid, stately growth, with 

 pinnate, feathery foliage, very effective in shrubbery plantations, for which 

 purpose it should be severely pruned every year or two. If allowed to grow 

 it makes a hanasome tree. Each 50c; per doz. $5.00.
