Bed of Hardy Azaleas 
Deciduous Shrubs 
It is our aim to produce everything in flowering shrubbery that is useful, hardy and worthy of culti- 
vation in our climate. A good shrub collection will present the greatest variety of color throughout the 
season, both in flower and foliage. Even in winter it is attractive in appearance from the gracefulness of 
its stems and branches, and .from the color of its bark. When right selections are made, it will serve 
almost as well as evergreens to shut out from view fences or other low unsightly objects.
