FLOWERING SHRUBS 



Any house without its setting of shrubbery 

 or flowers is unattractive, 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 ex- 

 pensive that they cannot afford the layout. 

 This year probably offers the best opportu- 

 nity 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 satisfac- 

 tion you will enjoy. 



All our shrubs are strong field specimens, 

 and grown under the ideal conditions on the 

 Eastern Shore of Maryland.
