JiovM, FLOWERING SHRUBS - Deciduous 



The permanent value and beauty of Deciduous Shrubs was never better understood and appreciated than 

 at the present time. The charm and grace they lend to the home grounds is invaluable, and, if judicious 

 selection is made, it is possible to have a continuous succession of bloom from early in April, when the For- 

 sythia displays its brilliant golden flowers, to the days when the frost again nips the flowers of the very latest 

 to bloom. The descriptions and prices below refer only to those Shrubs which shed their leaves each winter, 

 taking on a new garb every spring. Evergreen Shrubs will be found listed and described on page 17 and 

 succeeding pages. 



The prices quoted are for well-developed, stocky plants. A dozen of any variety 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 submit special quotations upon large quantities of Shrubs and Ornamental 

 Trees for landscape planting. 



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