FLOWERING AND 
ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
The beauty of a modern home does ti<»t depend s«> 
much on stately columns, skill of architecture and 
decorated walls as on the surroundings. The 
liumljlest cottage sometimes surpasses in real 
beauty the ma'blc palace of the millionaire, t)ecause 
it is embellished with nature's own beauty, in trees 
and shrubs, clambering vines and graceful flowers. 
In the proper adornment of a home there is nothing 
to surpass in beaiity the flowering shrubs and 
ornamental plants, climbing vines, etc.. which give 
a finishing touch to all artiticial embellishment. 
The list which we offer is the cream of the entire 
line for foliage and flowers, cTcrything 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 b<; 
planted to ad vantage* 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 extensively, as 
Lhey make a beautifid display the 
t'irst season. All mail size stock will be
