N  emphasizing  the  importance  of  shrubbery  a  prominent  landscape 
gardener  recently  said :  "If  one -tenth  the  trouble  wasted  on  car- 
pet-bedding and  other  fleeting  but  costly  rubbish  had  been  spent 
on  Flowering  Shrubs,  American  gardens  would  look  much  the 
better  for  it  to-day."  At  some  seasons  shrubs  supply  half  the 
bloom  and  beauty  of  our  grounds,  as  well  as  cozy  nooks  and 
screens.  At  all  times  they  are  needed  as  a  brilliant  undergrowth  and  supplement 
to  the  trees  planted.  Large  estates  now  make  lavish  use  of  them  for  groups,  beds, 
borders,  screens,  etc.,  as  well  as  for  specimens.    They  need  little  care. 
At  Glenwood  Nurseries  we  grow  a  fine,  full  line  of  shrubs,  transplanted,  well 
rooted,  well  developed,  and  in  various  sizes  from  small  plants  of  a  year's  growth  to 
specimen  shrubs  of  mature  development,  some  6  to  8  feet  high. 
We  shall  be  glad  to  furnish  estimates  to  all  who  appreciate  good  stock,  with 
good  roots,  at  moderate  prices. 
Shrubs  quoted  at  50  cts.  each  can  be  furnished  at  $5  per  doz.,  $35  per  100. 
Shrubs  quoted  at  30  and  35  cts.  each  are  $3.50  per  doz.,  $25  per  lOO.  Smaller  plants 
can  be  supplied  at  $2.50  per  doz.,  $20  per  lOO,  purchaser's  selection.  Where  shrubs 
are  wanted  by  the  1,000,  correspondence  is  solicited. 
These  include  the  larger  families  of  shrubs  with  brilliant  flowers  or  popular  char- 
acteristics which  create  a  large  demand  for  them.  Single  species  of  great  ornamental 
value  and  smaller  groups  are  described  under  the  head  of  Hardy  Shrubs  for  General 
Planting.  Azaleas  and  Rhododendrons  are  given  a  special  chapter  on  page  26.  Ever- 
green Shrubs  are  described  on  pages  18  to  25. 
In  May  and  June  the  Barberries  are  gay  with  showy  masses  of  white,  yellow  or 
orange  flowers;  through  autumn  and  winter  they  are  even  brighter  with  rich  crops  of 
berries.  They  are  hardy,  graceful,  2  to  6  feet  high,  thorny,  and  grow  quickly  in  almost 
any  soil,  so  that  we  can  use  them  for  many  things:  neat  little  hedges  and  boundaries, 
borders,  groups,  against  walls  or  house  foundations,  etc.    The  berries  of  the  different
