DECORATIVE SHRUBS 
Fresh/ Vigorous Plants—Sure to Grow 
Flowering shrubs create natural 
beauty and loveliness and are in¬ 
dispensable to the landscape gar¬ 
dener. 
Please note what an important part 
shrubs play in the landscape design to 
the left. 
Against the house foundation the shrubs 
blend the house with the grounds and 
create a lovely softening effect. On both 
sides of the property and across the 
rear shrubs contribute a delightful 
frame to the picture. They also give 
privacy and a beautiful background for 
annual and perennial flowers besides 
their own beauty of flowers, berries 
and varying foliage colors. 
Our large list of hardy varieties con¬ 
tains all the worth while shrubs adapted 
to the rigorous climate of this section 
of the country. By thoughtful selection 
continuous interest may be obtained 
from early spring until late fall through 
successive blooming periods.
