Ornamental Shrubs 
T HE judicious planting of shrubs adds greatly to the beauty and value of property, 
and contributes a wealth of pleasure and interest to the home. There are a few 
principles governing the artistic arrangement of these beautiful ornamentals 
that should be more strictly observed. In general, individual specimens should 
rarely be isolated from the body of the design. Irregular groups or masses ar¬ 
ranged against buildings, fences or property lines, or as border plantations, along 
walks or drives, are much more effective. A good arrangement of shrubs invariably 
provides wide open stretches near the center of the lawn. 
We have reduced our shrub list somewhat, omitting varieties for which, although very 
desirable in themselves, there is but little demand. 
MOSS ACACIA. An elegant shrub; 5 to 6 feet tall with light green pinnate leaves and 
long, graceful clusters of pea-shaped, rose colored flowers in June, often throughout the 
summer. The branches are covered with a moss-like growth similar to Moss Roses. The 
shrub is hardy here, is beautiful when in full bloom and should be in every garden. Can 
be raised in tree form if desired. It is easily raised and really a good shrub for any 
garden. 2 to 3 feet, 40c each. Postpaid, 50c. 
ALMOND, DOUBLE FLOWERING 
PINK. The Flowering Almonds are 
pretty dwarf bushes that bloom quite 
early and are very showy in spring. 
Their slender, leafless, upright branches 
are entirely hidden by stemless very 
double flowers of pink color resembling 
small roses. Grows to a height of 4 to 
5 feet and blooms in May. One of the 
best flowering shrubs and highly recom¬ 
mended for the western states. 2 to 3 
feet, 40c each; postpaid, 50c. 
ALTHEA or BOSE OF SHABON. 
These are fine shrubs and especially 
valuable because of their flowering in 
the fall when nearly all other shrubs 
are out of blossom. Hardy and easy of 
cultivation. Red. white and pink. Each 
35c; by parcel post, 40c each. 
BECHTEL’S DOUBLE FLOWEBINO 
CBAB. A medium sized hardy orna¬ 
mental tree of great beauty. When in 
bloom this tree presents the appearance 
of being covered with roses, fragrant 
flowers of immense size, sure to give 
satisfaction to those who plant this 
beautiful tree.
