Clethra alnifolia

Late A.utumn is 



SHRUB PLANTING TIME 



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 tall); M = Medium (4 to 8 feet tall); T = Tall (8 feet and more).
