FLOWERING AND 



ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS. 



The beauty of a modern home does not depend so 

 much on stately columns, skill of architecture and 

 decorated walls as on the surrou7Tdings. ihe 

 iiiimlilest cottage sometimes surpasses in real 

 beautv the marble palace of the millionaire, because 

 it is embellished with nature's own besutty, in trees 

 and shrubs, clambering vines and graceful flowers. 

 In the lu-oper adornment of a home thei-e isnothing 

 Lo surpass in beauty the flowering shrubs and 

 ornamental plants, climbing vines, etc., which give 

 a finishing touch to all artificial embellishment. 

 The list which we oflFer is the cream of the entire 

 line tor foliage and flowers, everything hardy and 

 adapted to all sections of thecountry. 

 Flowering shrubs appear to best ad- 

 vantage when planted in groups of a 

 dozen or more. They may also he 

 planted to advantage" singly and by 

 a judicious selection of varieties a 

 succession of bloom is afforded all 

 summer. In laying out new grounds, 

 shrubs should be used extensivelj', as 

 they make a beautiful display the 

 ftrst season. All mail size stock will be
