Sp irea, Anthony Waterer 
Our homes become homes in the true sense, only when they 
are planted. Ornamental shrubs are the foundation of all land¬ 
scape plantings. They lend a charm and grace to the home 
grounds that is invaluable. One can have a continuous succession 
of bloom from early in April to the days when frost nips the 
flowers of the very latest to bloom. Send for our complete Planting 
Instruction Booklet.
