—The Best Flowering 
W E HAVE attempted on these pages to pick the best. Occasionally old favor¬ 
ites remain unbeatable, but in the main the great advances in Horticulture 
have made possible new and improved varieties in every direction. Then, 
too, there is no arguing about taste. Our selection might not be another’s. We are in 
a position to quote upon and furnish in splendid shape most of the shrubs commonly 
grown in United States. We will gladly quote prices upon request. Massed in borders 
or as single specimens these charming shrubs provide colorful and fragrant bloom 
more easily and abundantly than any other form of vegetable life. They are inex¬ 
pensive and yet true aristocrats in every sense of the word. They may be planted 
with impunity in any soil and almost any position. They require no care except a 
judicious pruning once a year, when they are through blooming. 
A long list of Shrubs in small sizes will be found in the Green Price-List pasted 
inside the back cover. For old-fashioned common shrubs in quantity, write us what 
you want, and we will quote special prices—they are very cheap this year.
