NOTE—Some customers do not -understand why 
shrubs are received in dormant condition, without 
foliage, etc., and think because they are “dead look¬ 
ing” that they are without life. Of course, this im¬ 
pression is wrong as all hardy growth in our northern 
country is suspended during winter season, but 
springs to renewed life when growing time comes.
