Hardy Deciduous Flowering Shrubs 
The most picturesque method of planting shrubs is irregular massing, and a selection of varieties suitable for every 
requirement can be made from the following extensive list. 
When planting, the best way to maintain a balance between roots and branches is to cut the latter back half their 
length. The holes should be made large enough to allow the roots to be spread out in a natural way. Firm planting is 
essential to the future well-being of the shrubs. Leave a shallow depression around the plant, so that water will not 
flow away. The top-soil should be kept loose to a depth of 2 to 3 inches; this aids in retaining the moisture. Annual 
pruning should be done directly after flowering. 
If heavy bushes are desired, we have many specimens that will produce immediate effect. 
We fill every order with shrubs dug fresh from our Nurseries, as winter storing decreases their vitality.
