SPECIMEN SHRUBS 
The broader based Conifers, like SyT 
vester Junipers and Silver Redcedars, make 
g^ood background plants for a corner, or 
by the sun porch, or as a group about 
stone seats in the lawn—they too with¬ 
stand the wintry blast. 
At the base of the larger evergreens, 
low Spreading Junipers, such as Pfitzers, 
Gold Tip, Savin, or others, as well as 
Dwarf Spreading and Veitchi Cape Jas¬ 
mines. 
The Broadleaf Evergreens are necessary 
in the foundation plantings to merge 
house and lawn harmoniously together. 
Their thick, bushy foliage intermingled 
with a few Conifers, gracefully covers the 
flat sides of the house. For such use we 
suggest Cherry Laurel, Cape Jasmines, 
Privets, Elaeagnus, Viburnums, American, 
Dahoon, and Yaupon Hollies and many 
others. 
To furnish a gorgeous display of flowers 
in mid-winter, the Camellias with their 
glossy foliage have no rival. For early 
Spring flowers, the Azaleas burst into 
blossom, with an array of colors, and as 
a foliage plant, they are attractive at other 
seasons of the year. 
Typically Southern is our Magnolia 
Fuscata with its glossy leaves and highly 
fragrant flowers in early Spring. For a 
continuous supply of summer flowers, noth¬ 
ing could be prettier than the Crape 
Myrtles, in large Specimens and in a wide 
range of colors, either planted in masses 
or interplanted with the Evergfreens. 
There are numerous others which we 
have in our Nurseries in beautiful Speci¬ 
men plants, ready to be transplanted into 
your grounds. In fact, we have such a 
wide selection of varieties and sizes that 
it would be utterly impossible for us to 
attempt to describe them in the pages of 
this catalog. If you are interested in these 
fine Specimens for Landscape Materials 
let us hear from you, giving details of 
what you want. We will give accurate 
descriptions and furnish photographs of 
what we have that will fill your require¬ 
ments, if it is not convenient for you to 
come to the Nursery and make your selec¬ 
tions. 
SPECIMEN SHRUBS ARE NOT 
EXPENSIVE 
Often the supposed expense of a garden 
is in i the imagination. It is possible to 
create attractive grounds on almost any 
homesite at nominal cost by careful plan¬ 
ning. 
It will pay you to investigate the cost of 
having a few large Specimens placed on 
your grounds before you purchase. The 
small cost will surprise you. The result 
of such a planting will be highly pleasing 
to you. 
If you should try to place small shrubs 
close enough together to make an im¬ 
mediate showing, you would not be pleased 
with the effect secured—naturally, you 
would plant a great number of small shrubs 
that would soon give an over-crowded ap¬ 
pearance. The small shrubs will cost as 
much as a few nice specimens—^yet there 
is no comparison in the results. A few 
well selected Specimens will present ^a 
very pleasing appearance, and you will 
have every reason to be proud of it. 
For discriminating people—for those 
who want something above the average, 
we recommend the planting of Specimen 
Shrubs.
