THE BEST 



Hardy Flowering; 5hrubs. 



THIS class of plants has been a leading specialty with us for years, our stock now consisting of nearly twenty acres. 

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

 cold climates 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 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 life-time and are sure to give splendid satisfaction. Their culture is exceedingly simple. When received cut 

 the plants back about one-third their growth. Set about three feet apart. 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 Spring. 

 We urge early planting. Prices are wonderfully low. 



Orders booked at any time and shipped at the proper planting season. 

 ALL OUR SHRUBS ARE FIELD GROWN. THE BEST AND CHEAPEST.
