HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 



Whether you have a lawn of many acres, or a humble dooryard, 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 beautiful 

 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 unsightly objects, you will find nothing more permanently pleasing than varieties listed on 

 pages 34 to 36. Plant in the spring or fall, about 4 feet apart. See prices at foot of page.
