HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 



WHETHER you have a lawn of many acres, or an humble door yard, we commend this class of plants as indispensable 

 to the real beauty of your home. If you select with care, you can have a succession of bloom from April to snow 

 to say nothing of the beautitul color, form and shadow effects of flowers, foliage and bright berries. For planting 

 along border lines, filling in or rounding off angles or for screens to hide fences or other unsightlv objects, you wil' find no- 

 thing more permanently pleasmg than varieties listed below. They may be planted with equal success, either individually 



or in groups. (Arrange the low kinds in front.) Prepare the 

 ground and maintain it as if for a crop of potatoes. Plant in 

 the Fall or Spring about 4 feet apart and mulch with straw or 

 leaves. The time of bloom and height at maturity will be found 

 under each item. 



NEW DOUBLE ALTHEAS 



ROSE OF SHARON (Hibiscus Syriacus)

 brilliant colors. These may be planted singly, or look still 

 better in groups, and the different varieties blend beautifully.
