THE BEST HABDY FLOWERING SHftVBS 



THIS class of plants has been a leading specialty with us for years, our stock now consisting <<f Dearly twenty 

 acres. They are absolutely hardy, and once planted, last indefinitely, increasing in size and beauty year 

 after year. For cold climate where hardy plants are needed they stand without an equal. Planted in 

 clumps, masses or used for hedges, screens, or for filling unsightly corners, they make a glorious shew. 

 They supply that certain something which is lacking in every yard where hardy shrubbery is not planted. We 

 recommend a liberal planting of this class of plants. They last a lifetime and are sure ro give splendid satis 

 faction. Their culture is exceedingly simple. When received cut the plants hack about one-third their growth. 

 Set about three feet apart. Water freely when planted, and for a few days afterward. No protection re- 

 quired. They may he planted as soon as ground is ready to dig up until late Spring. We urge early planting. 

 Prices are wonderfully low.
