POT-GROWN CHOICE HARDY SHRUBS 



FOR SUMMER PLANTING 



Why wait until late in the Autumn or possibly until next 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 tliis 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 gr<j\vtli in waiting for dormant, field-grown plants late in fall or spring.
