﻿CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS 



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.
