EVERYTHING IN HARDY SEEDS AND NURSERY STOCK

Ornamental and Flowering Shrubs 
Flowering Shrubs are necessary to fill in places and to create a pleasing landscape picture. 
Distance lends enchantment sometimes and we all long for shrubs that grow in a different cli¬ 
mate than ours and which are re-produced so beautifully in pictures in other catalogues. But 
we have grim old winter holding over us his icy club and we must plant the iron clad varieties 
which we offer, for the main planting. 
We keep adding from time to time the shrubs that have proven hardy and if there are any 
varieties that we do not list and you wish to know about just feel free to write us, or if there 
are any other trees, shrubs or flowers that we do not list and that you want, we will be pleased 
to get them for you provided we can hear from you early. We send out good, thrifty plants 
and not little tender slips that some quote cheaper.
