HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS. 
It is our aim to offer everything in flowering shrubs that is useful, hardy, and worthy of cultivation. A good shrub collection will present the 
greatest variety of color throughout the season, both in flower and foliage. Even in winter it is attractive in appearance from the gracefulness of 
ntems and branches, and from the color of the bark. When right selections are made it will serve almost as well as evergreens to shut out from 
view fences or other low unsightly objects.
