Hardy Shrubs for 

 Permanent Planting 



They are absolutely hardy, and, once planted, 

 last indefinitely, increasing- in size and beauty 

 year after year. Fbr 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 show. They supply that certain some- 

 thing 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 life- 

 time and are sure to give splendid' satisfaction. 

 Their culture is exceedingly simple. When re- 

 ceived cut the plants back about one-third their 

 growth if not done before shipping. Set about 

 three feet apart for a screen, but as individual 

 specimens plant wherever desired. Water freely 

 when planted, and for a few days afterward. No 

 protection required. They may be planted as soon 

 as ground is ready to dig up until late spiring. 

 This class of plants should' be set out earlier than 

 Roses and other pot plants, so if your order con- 

 tains some of them we will send the different 

 varieties at the proper season. 



Some varieties, such as Hydrangea, Snowball, 

 ^\eigelas, Deutzias, require pruning in early spring 

 before new growth starts. Here with us it is 

 done in late February or early March each season 

 HYDRANGEA Arborescens Sterilis—The New Everblooming 

 Hydrangea is, as its name implies, constantly in bloom 

 from early in June until frost, and is one of the most 

 important additions in the way of hardy shrubs ever intro- 

 duced. All summer long it bears great clusters of white 

 flowers, much like the tender Hydrangea in size and form- 

 it will grow to perfection in partial shade, making it most 

 valuable for massing under trees or growing on north side 

 of house.
