Flowering Shrubs 
A good home landscape demands the free use of Flowering 
Shrubs. They quickly develop into dense masses of foliage, 
serving effectively as screens and boundaries along highways 
and adjoining properties. A splendid effect is obtained by planting 
them at the base of the house or other buildings. They make the 
most interesting hedges for framing gardens and bordering walks. 
Flowering Shrubs give big value on a small investment.
