Ornamental Flowering Shrubs 
Our stock of shrubs Is unsurpassed in quality, but our prices 
will be found much lower than those made by most nurserymen. 
As a rule, shrubs are much more effective when planted in masses, 
and our low prices permit them to be used freely in this way. 
For a guide in planting, we have indicated the size the shrubs 
will eventually be, as follows. “H 3-4, S 3-4 June” which means 
“Height 3 to 4 feel, spread 3 to 4 feet, flowers in June.” The 
sizes given can only be approximate as the size shrubs attain 
varies considerably with soils and climate. 
Shrubs marked (*) can be grown in partial shade, but they 
will also thrive in full exposure to the sun. 
SPECIAL OFFER OF SHRUBS 
We want to encourage the planting or shrubs. To be effective they should be planted In masses, but when dealers or nursery¬ 
men ask 50 cts. to $1 each Tor easily grown shrubs there is not much encouragement to plant them freely. We have made ar¬ 
rangements by which we can supply our customers with well-grown shrubs in the best varieties at the extremely low prices 
quoted below, but in every instance the selection of varieties must be left to us. But in ordering, if It is stated that certain shrubs 
are not wanted they will not be sent. We guarantee these shrubs to be satisfactory In both quality and variety. We cannot give 
in advance of filling the order a list of varieties contained in these collections.
