Hardy Shrubs 



LOVETT'S NURSERY, INC. 



HARDY SHRUBS (Deciduous) 



A HOME without hardy shrubs is a frameless picture, for shrubs are an absolute necessity if 

 beauty of the home grounds is to be attained. By a judicious selection from the perfectly 

 grown specimen shrubs we have the honor of listing below , you will be able to coax new beauty 

 into your landscape, no matter how sketchily or how carefully it is now planted. At our present 

 amazingly low prices, you really cannot afford to ignore those lawn and border gems this season. 



(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 Hsted and described 

 on page 14 and succeeding pages.) 



A dozen of any variety will be suppHed 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 hsts of Shrubs and Ornamental 

 Trees for landscape planting. 



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