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 plantmg. Prices are wonderfully low. 



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