LARGE GROWING 
SHRUBS FARTHER APART 
LOW GROWING SHRUBS 
CLOSER TOGETHER 
IS BEST 
HOW TO SPACE SHRUBS 
Do not plant shrubs in a straight line. Plant in easy 
curves. Put the taller growing shrubs behind with the 
lower growing in front. Do not plant them too closely 
together and give the taller growing shrubs more room 
than the smaller growing. Do not plant too closely to 
the foundation. 
When a shrub becomes too large, do not cut it off like 
you trim a hedge. Instead you should cut off some of the 
oldest branches down close to the ground. Early blooming 
shrubs should be pruned right after they are thru bloom¬ 
ing. Later blooming shrubs should be pruned in late winter. 
BLOOMS 
THESE 10 FINE SHRUBS 
Only $1.65 Postpaid 
($1.96 value) 
Strong 12 to 24 inch hardy 2-year field grown plants. Nicely 
branched. Well rooted. 
This makes a good corner planting. Beautiful in summer and winter 
because the bright red berries hang on all winter. Fine for planting on 
a corner to keep people from cutting across yard. Grows about 3 feet 
tall. If there is much shade, then we suggest that instead of the Red 
Barberry, you use Spirea Anthony Waterer. The price will be the 
same. You could also use these same 10 shrubs to plant in front of 
your porch, as they are good for foundation planting. Remember 
oug “> that the Red Barberry should be planted in a sunny location.
