Ornamental and Flowering Shrubs 
Fine Hardy Varieties That Will Quickly Give Tour Home 
That Satisfying Charm 
Notice any well planted place which has a great deal of 
charm and you will find the backbone of the planting is 
made up of Ornamental Shrubs. Not only are they within 
the reach of everyone, being reasonably priced, but they 
are invaluable for the purpose they serve. About the 
foundation of buildings to soften lines and harsh corners, 
along the edge of the property to define the edge of the 
lot and to tie up the grounds into an attractive picture; in 
beds along the drive, along banks or tumbling over slopes, 
there are a thousand and one places needing shrubs. 
Our list of shrubs was made up to provide varieties for 
every purpose, at the same time confining the list to varie¬ 
ties which may be satisfactorily planted any place in the 
South. We have included in the description the ultimate 
size of each variety to assist you in choosing the right va¬ 
riety for the right place. On this page you will find practi¬ 
cal suggestions in the choice of shrubs. 
Before describing the varieties we want to point out to 
the shrub buyer a very important consideration as to the 
quality and value of Waynesboro grown shrubs. Our soil, 
climate and cultural methods enable us to offer you strong, 
healthy plants which have more roots and better tops than 
the average shrubs listed at the same age or height. We 
can guarantee that you will be well pleased with any of our 
stock and that you will get values actually greater than 
what you expect. 
Planting— As a general rule, we advise planting shrubs 
3 feet apart. This is an average planting, but for immedi¬ 
ate effects it is sometimes advisable to crowd them closer, 
especially the low-growing varieties.
