HARDY SHRUBS

LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



HARDY SHRUBS (Deciduous) 



HARDY Shrubs are the backbone of any ornamental planting. Our assortment of these beautiful bushes has 

 reached the peak of perfection this Spring, as have our individual shrubs, for each and every one is grown in 

 as careful a manner as is possible. Though carefully grown, the process is done most economically — hence our 

 low prices, which refer in all instances to perfectly grown, well-developed plants, truly first-class in all respects. So 

 here they are, waiting to be ordered, and sent to embelhsh your grounds to an extent that you would never believe 

 possible. 



A dozen of any vEu-iety will be supplied for ten times the price of one (six for five times the price of one), but this 

 dozen rate may be used only when six or more of one variety are taken. The hundred rate of any variety will be 

 promptly sent if desired. 



We solicit an opportunity to give special quotations upon lists of Shrubs and Ornamental Trees for landscape 

 planting. 



Shipment should be made by express or freight, not by parcel post.
