SHRUBS 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI 
MAKE YOUR HOME MORE 
HOMELIKE 
Improve your homes now. No doubt many of 
you had planned to set out some shrubs and trees 
but had put this off until after the war. 
Now is the time to carry out your plans. A few 
dollars spent for shrubs and trees will add many 
dollars to the value of your home. 
The boys will soon be coming home. Fix up the 
old home place and make it look even better than 
they had expected. 
Ornamental Shrubs are becoming more popular every day and there is nothing that makes a place 
look more homelike than a few well placed flowering shrubs. These are all perennials and when once 
established they need practically no attention for years. They bear beautiful flowers and are an ornament 
throughout the entire year. 
They can be used very effectively in masses, or as borders in front of porches and are excellent for 
planting along the house to hide the foundation. A row of Spireas in front of the chicken yard or along 
the driveway makes a most beautiful sight.
