T)eciduous  Shrubs 
HETHER  planted  individually  or  collectively,  the  shrub  is  an  important  feature  in  the  adorn- 
ment of  any  grounds.  There  are  locations  which  suggest  the  planting  of  individual 
shrubs,  which  are  to  be  allowed  space  for  symmetrical  development,  and  in  such  locations 
their  grace  and  beauty  cannot  be  surpassed.  In  groups  they  can  be  made  to  emphasize 
some  feature  of  the  lawn,  to  screen  some  unsightly  object  or  to  destroy  the  strong,  stiff 
lines  of  foundation  walls.  At  the  edges  of  the  lawn,  along  walks  and  drives,  or  in  distant  corners  a 
collection  of  shrubs  may  be  gathered  together  that  will  give  a  succession  of  blocm  from  the  opening  of 
spring  until  frost  comes  to  destroy  the  flowers.  Shrubs  with  purple  and  yellow  leaves  should  be  added,  to 
give  character  and  contrast  to  the  planting.  When  the  leaves  have  gone,  the  brilliant  fruits  of  other 
species  and  bright,  conspicuous  bark  of  certain  shrubs  add  variety  and  interest  to  the  monotony  of  winter- 
The  assortment  we  offer  includes  varieties  suited  to  every  purpose,  and  our  strong,  well-rooted  plants 
produce  immediate  effects  that  are  not  possible  with  smaller  and  lighter  sizes.
