SHRUBS 
I N this class are included the most popular and better known of our hardy flowering and 
ornamental shrubs. Their popularity is based on the wealth of flowers which they pro¬ 
duce and their adaptability to the most ordinary conditions. No class of plants presents to 
our landscape a greater array of blossoms or a more symmetrical arrangement of their 
flowers, and once established, with the exception of a periodical trimming, may be left to 
take care of themselves, increasing in size and beauty from year to year. All shrubs offered 
are strong and healthy, mostly 3- and 4-year old.

the leaves appear. The beautiful rose or white flowers snuggle tight to the twigs.
