for so little cost, adds so much beauty, cheerfulness 
and home-like appearance to your residence as an

winters, and extremely hot and dry summers, Sonde- 
regger's Shrubs are known for their extreme hardi¬ 
ness and prompt results. 
The prices I am quoting throughout the section of 
Flowering and Ornamental shrubs are postpaid. Every

tion. My descriptions are written with utmost care 
so as to give you accurate information concerning 
the height the shrubs will reach, the time they bloom 
and the color of the blossoms. You are entirely safe 
in making these descriptions your planting guide. My 
2 to 3 ft. sizes of shrubs are the largest and best in 
quality that can be had. This size is used by the 
leading landscapers. It gives results promptly. The 
12 to 18-inch size of shrubs is offered to encourage 
planting of shrubs, and at such low prices that any¬ 
body can beautify the home grounds.

ALTHEA 
Rose of Sharon — I have the very 
finest of the double flowering 
varieties, and my assortment in¬ 
cludes all the leading colors. 
The Altheas grow up to a size 
of 6 to 8 ft. They are of up¬ 
right growth with rich foliage, and they 
blossom in late summer and fall. They 
are hardy here, and for the very best re¬ 
sults I cover them with straw or leaves 
2 ft. high in late fall. In the spring I 
cut the tops back to 2 ft. from the ground. 
In this way they bloom well the next 
summer, and with similar care they will 
be hardy anywhere in the Middle West. 
(Prunus Amygdalus.i Will grow 4 to 5 
ft. tall, making a very fine dwarf bush

flowering, your selection. The slender, 
upright branches are entirely hidden by 
stemless, double flowers, resembling small 
roses. Blooms in April before the shrub 
gets its leaves. A very fine flowering 
shrub. 2 to 3 ft. nice shrubs. 50c each 
3 for $1.40, postpaid.

turns to a scarlet or bronze color with crimson berries which stay on the shrubs until 
late in the winter. Without shearing, the bush gTows to a neat round form. Can be 
sheared to most any shape. Very useful for edging shrubbery groups or for founda¬

is one of the most popular shrubs.

color effect landscapers are using many of these shrubs, even between Evergreens, and 
groups of other shrubs. The shrubs can be sheared to most any form, or can be 
grown to nice globe shapes without shearing. Also very satisfactory for hedging 
same as the Japanese Barberry, the showy color of the foliage attracting much at¬ 
tention.

■ = PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS —.— - = 
Upon receipt of a shipment of flowering shrubs proceed in the same manner as described for fruit trees beginning page 4. Un¬ 
wrap promptly, and place the roots in cold water for several hours before planting. During that time you can have the holes 
dug for planting, and while you take the shrubs out to plant It is well to protect the roots from wind and sun. This is done 
either by wrapping a wet piece of burlap around the roots, or still better by first dipping all the roots into a paste made of soil 
and water. This covers the roots entirely, and protects them from wind and sun, the two harmful elements to naked roots of 
shrubs or trees.
