Flowering Shrubs 
Deciduous—Losing their foliage in the fall. 
Every landscape should have an abundance of 
these reasonably priced plants to give color and 
charm to it throughout the year. Plant them in 
groups of from to 3 to 25 of a kind in your bor¬ 
ders and screens, selecting varieties that will 
provide a succession of bloom and berry. That is 
easy with the following listed according to such
