The shrubs we offer are strong healthy field grown plants 
which, with ordinary care, should give the very best of satis¬ 
faction. Our prices are placed as low as possible and still 
give our customers the high-grade stock that has enabled 
us to build up our enormous business. 
Figures following variety names indicate approximately the height of the plant when 
approaching maturity. 
The larger sizes vary from 2 to 5 years of age. In order to meet present day de¬ 
mands for low priced stock we have also included a mailing grade. These are mostly 
of one and two years’ growth and cannot be compared to the larger sizes which are

instructions for planting.
