Flowering Shrubs 



Hardy flowering shrubs develop very quickly and are, therefore, indispensable where it is desir- 

 able to make an immediate showing. 



It is our aim to jjroduce everything in flowering shrubbery that is useful, hardy and worthy of 

 culti\ atioii. A jrood shrub collection will present the greatest variety of color throughout the season, 

 both III llowi r and fohage. E\-en in winter the siirul)ber\ is attractive, because of the gracefulness of 

 its stems and braiuhes and the color of the bark. Maii\ \ai icties also bear highly colored and showy 

 fruit, whicli, in many instances, hangs on the entire winter. 



(. an- a lew hard and fast, yet simple principles, governing the artistic arraiiL^ement of these 

 , aiui tliese should be more strictly observed. In general, individual spec iim iis sliould rarely 

 latrd liom the body of the design. Irregular groups or masses, arran-id against buildings, 

 I piiipntN lines, or as border plantations along walks or drixes, are more effective. A good 

 nu 111 n| ^hrulis invariably provides wide open stretches near the center of tiie lawn. From the 

 :h iollows it is possible to select j^lants adapted to a wide range of requirements.
