Hardy Flowering Shrubs 
A good collection of Flowering Shrubs is not only an unfailing source of pleasure 
but is absolutely indispensable to the well arranged lawn. Nature plants shrubs 
with lavish hand along the borders of the woodland. The effect is always restful 
and beautiful. The attractive home is the one neatly planted with Trees, Shrubs and 
flowers. Shrubs planted along the borders, massed into the corners, against the 
porches and sharp angles of the house will greatly’ enhance the artistic value of any 
home. Shrub plantings are the harmonizing feature which link the trees, buildings and 
lawn into one harmonious whole and give that finishing touch of hominess so greatly 
desired. 
All Shrubs, except as noted, 1 to 1 x /i ft. plants, 30c each, postpaid; 1 x /i to 2 ft., post¬ 
paid, 50c each; 2 to 3 ft., not prepaid, 75c each. Prices on extra-large Shrubs 
quoted on application. 
SHRUB COLLECTION 
S. Arguta. Snow Garland. Of medium 
height; literally covered in May with 
small, snow-white flowers, while the 
fine, delicate foliage and slender bran¬ 
ches give it an air of gracefulness 
hardly equaled by any other shrub. 
S. sorbifolia. Strong, vigorous grower; 
pretty both in flower and out, the 
glossy, finely cut leaves giving a pleas¬ 
ing foliage effect. The flowers are 
creamy white, appearing in large pan¬ 
icles in July'. 
Spireae. Froebelli. Similar to Anthony 
Waterer in many respects, but taller. 
Dense heads of crimson flowers. The 
new foliage in Spring has a pretty and 
distinctive shade of red giving the 
shrub the appearance of being covered 
with flowers. 
Mock Orange Virginalis. A wonderful, 
new variety. Of medium height; com¬ 
pact grower. Large, very fragrant 
flowers; continuing in bloom for a long 
time. Very desirable. Price: 12 to 18
