DECORATIVE 
SHRUBS 
Fresh, Vigorous Plants— 
Sure to Grow 
Flowering shrubs create natural 
beauty and loveliness and are in¬ 
dispensable to the landscape gar¬ 
dener. Our large list of hardy varie¬ 
ties contains all the worth while 
shrubs adapted to the rigorous cli¬ 
mate of this section of the country. 
By thoughtful selection continuous 
interest may be obtained from early 
spring until late fall through succes¬ 
sive blooming periods. The berries 
of many varieties are beautiful and 
give food to the birds. Shrubbery 
foliage contributes much to the 
beauty of all plantings.
