CHOICE HARDY SHRIIRS pot-grown for 

 v^nv^i^^iL n/\ivL/ 1 oni\UDO summer planting 



Why wait until late in the fall or possibly until next spring 

 to plant shrubbery when you can plant our pot-grown S)irubs at 

 any time during the summer, thereby gaining almost a full season's 

 time, the plants being ready to give a siitisfactory account of them- 

 selves next summer, doing nearly as well as if planteil 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 popu- 

 lar sorts for this purpose. You may have an incomplete spot in 

 your border or perhaps some of your spring plantings have failed. 

 If 80, 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 iu fall or spring.
