EXPLAINING NEOSHO’S THREE SHRUB GRADES 
Specimen Grade — Strong, heavy 
three-year plants with bushy well¬ 
shaped tops, 3 to 4 ft. high on the 
strong growers like Honeysuckle or 
Spirea Van Houttei, while 2 to 2 Ys 
ft. would be a specimen grade on 
Spirea Anthony Waterer or Deutzia 
Gracilis. This grade will please the 
most exacting customer who wants 
to make a quick showing. Most va¬ 
rieties in this grade will bloom the 
first season. 
Standard Grade— As shown in pho¬ 
tograph above, fine strong plants, 
2 to 3 ft. where the specimen grade 
runs 3 to 4 ft., and 18-24 in. where 
the specimen grade runs 2 to 214 ft. 
Postpaid Grade— These are good 
two-year-old plants, suitable for 
shipment by prepaid parcel post, 
that will give very satisfactory 
results though not as quick an 
effect as the specimen or standard 
grades. 
Specimen Grade Standard Grade Postpaid Grade 
The photographs above will illustrate better than anything we might say, 
the quality and specifications of our three different grades. Note the abund¬ 
ance of branches and the heavy fibrous roots in photo No. 1, which is our 
specimen grade. No. 2 represents our standard grade and No. 3 our postpaid 
grade as described at right: 
“My grounds are very beautiful, 
considering all planting was done 
this spring. Practically everything 
was furnished by you to my entire 
satisfaction.” — H. A. Wangerien, 
New Mexico.
