Hardy Ornamental Shrubs 
Shrubbery is one of the necessities of the home garden and lawn decoration, for scarcely a house is to be found with¬ 
out some planting of this sort. Shrubs can be selected that will bloom consecutively from early Spring until late Kail. 
The planting of shrubs is usually done in the Spring, but we recommend planting in the Fall as well as Spring. Ready 
for delivery March to May—October and November. 
All our Shrubs are large, vigorous and well rooted.

ful shrub, with arching, spiny branches and bright

flowers are borne in great profusion, fairly covering
