Beautiful Hardy Ornamental Flowering Shrubs and Hedge Plants 
Extra Selected, Well Developed, Bushy 2-Year-Old Plants. All Shrubs Are Sent Postpaid and Guaranteed Satisfactory.

while others are highly useful as cut flowers, and a well-arranged planting presents an attractive appearance throughout the entire year.
