★ ★ Flowering SHRUBS 
Three Star OFFER No. 15 
Japanese Quince 
NOTE—Some customers do 
not understand why shrubs 
are received in dormant con¬ 
dition, without foliage, etc., 
and think because they are 
“dead looking’’ that they are 
without life. Of course this 
Impression is wrong as all 
hardy growth in our northern 
country is suspended during 
winter season, but springs to 
renewed life when growing 
time comes.
