Deciduous Shrubs 
They are very valuable planted as single 
specimens in the door yard, or in groups or 
masses, and a little planning in setting the 
kinds in the group will readily bring out the 
greatest individual beauty of the different 
kinds. 
Hardy shrubs like the Weigelas, Deutzias, 
Spireas, Hydrangeas, etc., when planted in 
masses produce a magnificent effect. What 
grand masses of bloom can be had through¬ 
out the season by proper use of the various 
families! Then the purple and variegated¬ 
leaved trees and shrubs may also be planted 
in such a manner as to afford a rich and 
striking contrast. Highly effective groups 
can be formed of trees and shrubs possessing 
bright-colored bark in winter. 
Deciduous trees, shrubs and vines can be 
planted either in spring or fall. By the proper 
use of the pruning knife or shears, the plants 
may be kept in handsome shape and proper 
size. 
W T hile our energies have been largely de¬ 
voted to growing fruit stock, we are increas¬ 
ing yearly our ornamental stock and are pre¬ 
pared to meet the increasing demand in this 
line. We have much land well suited for the 
propagation of ornamental stocks which we 
are utilizing, and all those who are thinking 
of beautifying their home grounds will do 
well to correspond with us, submit their lists
