SHRUBS AND HEDGE PLANTS 
Nothing adds so much to the beauty of the home surroundings, nothing gives so much pleasure, 
as a good lawn and well-placed shrubs and vines. The number which may be planted will be governed 
by the shape and extent of the grounds; but even the smallest lot has a place for a few. They should 
be planted in masses, in corners and about the buildings, always leaving a goodly proportion of 
open lawn. Aside from their value in beautifying the grounds, they actually increase the money- 
value of a property. A city lot, for instance, with well-grown shade trees and shrubs, is decidedly 
more valuable than a piece of bare ground. 
The varieties offered are those which have been thoroughly tested, and which we know will 
give satisfaction. Our stock is healthy, vigorous and well grown.

with excellent effect. 
CAMELLIA (Camellia Japonica). Handsome 
evergreen shrubs with bright shining green 
leaves. Free-flowering and very desirable.

grand flower. We offer three double va¬

bloom and remain in flower for several 
weeks. They are very beautiful, and 
make a noticeable object in any land¬ 
scape. The trees are hardy, easily 
grown, and succeed on a wide range 
of soils. No other tree or shrub takes 
their place, and they are among the
