POT-GROWN CHOICE HARDY SHRUBS | 
FOR SUMMER PLANTING 
Why wait until late in the autumn or possibly until uext spring to plant shrubbery when you can plant our pot-grown Shrubs 
at any time during the summer, thereby gaining almost a full season’s time, the plants being ready to give a satisfactory account of 
themselves this summer, doing nearly as well as if planted last spring, and failure being almost out of the question if only the 
slightest regards are paid to their requirements. 
We have now in pots in good condition a line of the more popular sorts for this purpose. You may have an incomplete spot in 
your border or perhaps some of your spring plantings have failed. If so you cannot go wrong in planting some of these pot-grown 
plants at the present time instead of losing a full season’s growth in waiting for dormant, field-grown plants late in fall or spring.

livery to any Express or Freight Line in Philadelphia.
