Deciduous Flowering Shrubs. 
NATURE'S FESTIVE QREETINQS AND SOLACE TO A CAREWORN WORLD. 
We draw the particular attention of the people of the Pacific Coast to this class of plants — so much 
and unjustly ignored by the garden-loving public, for what reason it is hard to divine — for their great 
beauty and gladsomeness surely commends them to more than passing notice. 
The reason of their being overlooked must be that the general public are unfamiliar with their supe- 
rior attractiveness, else the happy, cheering family of outdoors, as headlined above, would not be 
relegated to a "back seat," as has been the case in late years. 
We have endeavored during the past season to bring deciduous flowering shrubs prominently before 
the public. We made an exhibit of cut blossoms of flowering shrubs at the Exhibition of The California 
State Floral Society last spring, and were awarded First Premium. We also had on exhibit at our seed 
and plant store, during the summer months of the current year, blooms of shrubs and trees which 
attracted general admiration, and were favorably spoken of by all flower lovers, not only in the home 
but on the street and in places where people congregate and give each other the best news. 
For small home places, shrubs are indispensable, 
combining, as they do, so wide a range of foliage, flow- 
ers and color, habit of growth, and season of blooming. 
They are all of the most easy culture.
