Ornamental and Flowering Shrubs 
Shipped by Express at Purchaser’s Expense 
It is my aim to produce everything in flowering shrubbery that is useful, hardy and worthy of cultivation 
in our climate. A good shrub collection will present the greatest variety of color throughout the season, both in 
flower and foliage. Even in Winter it is attractive in appearance from the gracefulness of its stem and branches, 
and from the color of its bark. When right selections are made it will serve almost as well as evergreens to shut 
out from^view fences or other low unsightly objects.
