Strong 12 to 24 inch hardy 2-year field grown shrubs. To every 
person who enters your home, there are hundreds who go by the 
outside. The only way they have of judging your home is by 
what they see from the street and walk. You cannot realize what 
a difference it will make in the appearance of a home, by planting 
these twenty-six shrubs. From the golden blooms of the Golden 
Bell in earliest spring until frost colors the immense Hydrangea 
P. G. blooms, you will have lovely flowers. And the bright red 
berries of the Barberry for winter cheer. Keep in mind that the 
Hydrangea P. G. should be planted on the east or north side. 
So if your house faces west or south, just reverse the positions 
of A and H.
