These occupy an important place in the development of the Home Grounds or in any landscape plantings. The present vogue of the Outdoor 

 Living Room permits the use of Flowering Shrubs in greater variety than ever before. 



Our plants, except where specially noted, are 2 to 3 years transplanted, and range from 1 }/& to 3 feet in height, according to variety; some being 

 stronger growing, are consequently taller at the same age. In the description of each variety we give the natural heights at maturity, but they 

 can be kept any size desired by pruning. Those marked * may be planted in a shady place.
