Flowering shrubs add color to your grounds. Their dense foliage after flowering 
season make them invaluable for screening and background 
Shrubs form an all-important part of the planting of any grounds. Either in groups, borders 
or as individual specimens, they are equally beautiful. They are especially effective as a screen 
or border marking boundaries, particularly where formal hedges are not desired. 
The following selection of varieties offers practically everything which is hardy and of dis¬ 
tinctive merit. By noting the season of bloom given in the descriptions, you can easily arrange 
a selection of shrubs to be in bloom almost every day of the growing season. 
We have spaced our shrubs, in the nursery rows, for maximum development rather than the 
greatest number of plants in a row, and even our smallest sizes have been once transplanted 
before they are dug for orders.
