HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Flowering shrubs bring the greatest return on investment that one can put into the 
home-grounds. They thrive with but little care; are attractive even in winter when the 
branches are without foliage; and when they do burst into bloom transform the grounds 
into bowers of scented beauty. In addition to their lovely flowers many shrubs develop 
attractive fruit which lasts well into the winter. 
We offer a fine list for planting this spring.
