DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
These are much smaller than trees, and occupy much less space. They are very valu- 
able planted as single specimens in the door yard, or in groups or masses, and a little plan- 
ning in setting the kinds in the group will readily bring out the greatest individual beauty 
of the different kinds. 
Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora. 
Hardy shrubs like the Weigelas, Deutzias, Spireas, Hydrangeas, etc., when planted 
in masses produce a magnificent effect. What grand masses of bloom can be had through- 
out the season by proper use of the various families. Then the purple and variegated- 
leaved trees and shrubs may also be planted in such a manner as to afford a rich and strik- 
ing contrast. Highly effective groups can be formed of trees and shrubs possessing bright- 
colored bark in wmter. 
Deciduous trees, shrubs and vines can be planted either in Spring or Fall. By the 
proper use of the pruning knife or shears, .the plants may be kept in handsome shape and 
proper size. 
The best time for pruning all shrubs is when they have done flowering. 
While our energies have been largely devoted to growing fruit stock we are increasing 
yearly our ornamental stock and are prepared to meet the increasing demand in this line. 
We have much land well suited for the propagation of ornamental stock which we are utiliz- 
ing and all those who are thinking of beautifying their home grounds will do well to corres- 
pond with us, submit their lists or let us advise and we can quote special terms on large 
orders.
