Ornamental and Flowering Shrubs 
Notice any well planted place which has a great deal of 
charm and you will find the backbone of the planting is 
made up of Ornamental Shrubs. Not only are they within 
the reach of everyone, being reasonably priced, but they 
are invaluable for the purpose they serve. About the 
foundation of buildings to soften lines and harsh corners, 
along the edge of the property to define the edge of the 
lot and to tie up the grounds into an attractive picture; in 
beds along the drive, along banks or tumbling over slopes, 
there are a thousand and one places needing shrubs. 
Our fist of shrubs was made up to provide varieties for 
every purpose, at the same time confining the list to varie¬ 
ties which may be satisfactorily planted any place in the 
South. We have included in the description the ultimate 
size of each variety to assist you in choosing the right va¬ 
riety for the right place. On page 22 you will find practical 
suggestions in the choice of shrubs. 
Before describing the varieties we want to point out to 
the shrub buyer a very important consideration as to the 
quality and value of Waynesboro grown shrubs. Our soil, 
climate and cultural methods enable us to offer you strong, 
healthy plants which have more roots and better tops than 
the average shrubs fisted at the same age or height. We 
can guarantee that you will be well pleased with any of our 
stock and that you will get values actually greater than 
what you expect. 
Planting—-As a general rule, we advise planting shrubs 
3 feet apart. This is an average planting, but for immedi¬ 
ate effects it is sometimes advisable to crowd them closer, 
especially the low-growing varieties. 
Spraying—Space does not permit our giving complete 
spray information and neither do we carry a full fine of 
spray materials, but we do attempt to carry spray ma¬ 
terials and controls for the most common plant diseases 
and enemies. On page 12 we offer PARADOW, which 
controls Peach Tree Borers. See page 27 for SUNOCO, an 
oil spray for controlling scale and red spider. You can 
grow beautiful Roses with TRI-OGEN. See page 32. 
POMO-GREEN, found on page 33, is also an excellent 
Rose Spray. 
Fertilizing—Vigorous shrubs, properly planted, serve 
as the beginning of satisfactory results, but to obtain 
complete satisfaction plants must have suitable plant food 
from time to time. A fertilizer which may be ideal for one 
crop may prove destructible to another. Be cautious and 
use only tested and approved fertilizers. Bone Meal is 
recommended as a general fertilizer and is safe. See page 22. 
Peat Moss is no more than a soil conditioner, but is most 
helpful in loosening hard soils and holding moisture. See 
page 25. Good Grass Seed and a properly prepared seed 
bed are essential to a beautiful sod, but a suitable lawn 
fertilizer is also important. See page 40.
