Flowering Shrubs 



Any house without its setting of shrubbery or flowers is unat- 

 tractive, and any house, no matter how unattractive it may be, 

 can be made attractive and pleasing with a proper planting. Many 

 people forego the pleasure of a beautiful exterior because it is so 

 expensive that they cannot afford the layout. This year probably 

 offers the best opportunity to purchase shrubs, at low prices. 

 Make your selection from the varieties offered in this catalog, the 

 cost of which is so little in comparison to the floral beauty and 

 satisfaction you will enjoy. 



All our shrubs are strong field specimens, and grown under the 

 ideal conditions on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
