FRANKLIN DAVIS NURSERIES, INC. 
Flowering Shrubs and 
Hardy Plants 
Beginning with the Cydonias and Forsythias in 
earliest spring and continuing through the summer and 
until the Hardy Hydrangeas are tinted pink by the 
cool autumn days, the garden can have, and should 
have, a succession of flowers through a careful selection 
of varieties when planting. And thought should be 
given, where shrubs are planted in groups, to the ques¬ 
tion of the height of each variety at maturity and the 
color of the blooms, in order that symmetry of outline 
and harmony of color may be preserved. We are always 
glad to have our Landscape Service Department con¬ 
sulted about plans, and to offer suggestions out of our 
knowledge of varieties.
