Beautify your home with 
N O NEED, now, to deny yourself the beauty and serene joy of Flowering 
Shrubs, when you can get them at such very low prices. And what a miracu- 
lous change even a group of them will make around the porch or along 
the foundation. You will be delighted with their charming blooms, both for indoor 
bouquets and for the outdoor color they bring. 
A few simple rules will help you to create the most beautiful setting for your 
home, such as keeping an open lawn for the most part, planting shrubs in groups 
at the entrance, around the foundation of the house, at the corners and along the 
boundary lines—keeping the taller growing sorts in the background and the dwarf 
plants in front—avoiding too stiff lines by rounding out the corners and forming 
curves along the straight stretches.

FLOWERING ALMOND. Early in the 
spring before other shrubs have budded, 
the spectacular Flowering Almond is 
loaded with exquisite double blooms of 
pink or white. Hardy, but does best 
when planted in a protected place close 
to the house or in the garden, yet 
should have a rather predominate place 
where the early flowers can reflect their 
full beauty. 4-7 ft. at maturity. Choice, 
Pink and White.

PLANTING DIRECTIONS FOR SHRUBS 
Shrubs are easily planted and require little care. Any 
good growing soil is excellent. Set the plants deeply and 
firmly, and trimming the tops back will insure a quicker 
and better growth. Keep them cultivated and free from 
weeds the first year or two, watering them in the evening 
during dry spells. After the first year they will require 
little care other than any annual pruning you may wish to 
give them. Each year’s growth will add to the charm of 
your planting. 
JAPANESE BARBERRY (Berberis thun¬ 
bergi). A round, bushy, graceful plant, 
loaded with thorns, and hardy every- 
where. Bright green in summer, the 
leaves becoming brilliant red in fall, with 
a handsome covering of scarlet berries that 
last way into the winter. Splendid for 
the foundation planting, and one of the 
finest of all hedge plants. Remember it 
is free from rust and can be planted any¬ 
where. 3-? ft. at maturity.

RED-LEAF BARBERRY (Berberis Thun- 
bergi atropurpurea). Rich, bronze-red 
leaves that become more brilliant in the 
sunlight, so plant it in an open, sunny 
place. A splendid foreground shrub; 
beautiful in hedges. Like the Japanese 
Barberry, it has an abundance of thorns, 
and is thickly covered with bright scar¬ 
let berries in the fall. Hardy, and abso¬ 
lutely rust-proof. 2 to 3 feet high at 
maturity.
