WILLIAM EWING & CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE 
FLOWERING SHRUBS 122 ORNAMENTALS 
Hardv Flowering Sbrubs do not receive the attention that their importance merits, for in the embelhshment of Flower Gardens, Lawns »nd 
Pleasure Grounds, they play a most important part in producing a pleasing effect by their variety of form, the beauty of their flowers and the differ- 
ent seasons at which they bloom. In many cases they are simply planted to fiU up some odd corner, where nothing else will grow, whereas thejr 
deserve the most prominent positions and careful culture, and this they will repay a thousand fold. Prices are according to the sue of the Plants.
