Flowering Shrubs. 
Our shrubs are all strong, well-rooted, transplanted stock from open ground. Once carefully planted 
in suitable positions, they increase in size and beauty from year to year, and require but little furthei care. The 
time of bloom of the different sorts extends over nearly the whole season, though the greatest show is to be 
expected in spring and early summer. We will be glad to select varieties for you which will give the longest 
possible season of bloom. '
