HARDY Flowering Shrubs 



There are very few houses which would not be infinitely im- 

 proved in appearance by the judicious planting of some of the 

 splendid Shrubs which we list on this and the following pages. 

 They are as essential to the completed home as are good archi- 

 tecture and good building materials, since they are the frame for 

 your house, and should, therefore, be selected most carefully. So 

 try some of our well-grown Shrubs this season, and watch your 

 grounds take on new beauty, and new value, increasing as the 

 years go by. 



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. 



A dozen of any variety will be supplied for ten times the price 



BEAUTY BUSH (Kolkwitzia) 



(See next page lor dcacription) 



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.
