ROEDING'S SELECT 
DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
Much of the charm of old-fashioned gardens came 
from the free use of deciduous spring-flowering shrubs. 
Their delicate coloring, fragrance and profuse bloom 
entitle them to an important place in our modern gar¬ 
dens. They combine beautifully with early flowering 
bulbs, lending color and interest to the spring land¬ 
scape before the blooming season of perennial and an¬ 
nual plants.
