DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
T HE delicate coloring, fragrance and profuse bloom 
of this class of shrubs entitle them to an important 
place in our gardens. Their many hues combine or 
contrast effectively with those of daffodils and tulips 
to form beautiful pictures in early spring before the 
blooming season of perennial and annual plants. 
For best results most varieties, except Azaleas, should 
be pruned about one month after blooming. Winter 
pruning is not advisable.
