-* HARDY SHRUBS.s- 



Shrubs appear to best advantage when planted in groups, 

 or judiciously scattered about the lawn. By selecting a 

 dozen varieties and planting in a clump, a succession of 

 bloom may be had the greater part of the summer. Keep 

 the plants in handsome shape, and of proper size, by the 

 free use of the knife or pruning shears. In laying out new 

 grounds, flowering shrubs should be planted extensively, 

 as they make a beautiful display in a year or two, giving 

 the lawn a very attractive and finished appearance. 



HARDY GHENT AZALEA. 



A magnificent class of hardy flowering plants, bearing 

 large trusses of lovely, fragrant flowers. Their diversity 

 of color and form should render them, even to a greater 

 extent than at present, leading shrubs for outdoor purposes. 

 Very dry situations are not suitable for this class. The soil 

 should be prepared as per instructions for Rhododendrons. 

 The collection offered is from the best European sources.
