Late Autumn is SHRUB 



Give your home an atmosphere of cozy charm with a few well chosen shrubs. 

 A few dollars spent for some of the rarer shrubs will add an air of serenity and 

 restfulness that will give distinction to your home grounds. Late autumn is 

 the ideal time to plant shrubs. They usually can be dug after the middle of 

 October and where frost enters the ground previous to that time a few burlap 

 bags, hay, straw, or manure will keep the soil workable until the plants arrive. 



As growth varies according to conditions we give the approximate height as 

 follows: D = Dwarf (less than 4 feet high); M = Medium tall (4 to 8 feet high); 

 T = Tall (8 feet and taller).
