In Shrubs wo pursuo tho same policy as wo do in fruits, viz: to offor only thoso which wo have 
known to succeed and those which wo consider as hardy in this latitude. Wo tost many now ones 
each year as they are offered and if thoy moot our requirements in a shrub wo adopt it permanently 
and ofTer it for sale. Wo now have a business in landscape work that requires thousands of shrubs 
each year. Wo will prepare planting plans and estimates when desired. Our Shrubs will bo found 
especially well rooted as our soil produces an abundance of fibrous roots. 
HARDY CLIMBING VINES 
Ornamentals of this class are so hardy, so easily grown, and so beautiful that they dosorve groator 
attention than they receive. No nrtist can produce pictures equal to the wealth of beauty displayed 
by the elegant Wistaria, the graceful honeysuckle, or the charming and magnificent clematis when 
in the glory of full bloom, nnd there is nothing in nrt that will in any degroo 'comparo with tho 
gorgeous hues of tho Ampelopsis nfter it assumes its brilliant autumnal tints.
