There is no other improvement 
you can make on your home and 
its surrounding that would give such 
striking results so quickly and so 
economically as by planting shrubs, 
trees and plants. Plant good, hardy 
stock, and this is what I am offering 
you. For Sonderegger’s stock is up¬ 
land Nebraska grown, subjected to 
severe winters, and extremely hot and 
dry summers. Sonderegger stock is 
known by its greater hardiness. 
Prices on all flowering shrubs include 
cost of postage or express charge. In 
order to encourage planting of flower¬ 
ing shrubs even where funds for plant¬ 
ing material are limited, I am also 
listing, wherever possible, a 12 to 18 
inch grade of shrubs, nice well rooted 
and healthy plants that are easy to 
start. The 2 to 3 ft. grade is the full 
blooming size. 
Trrnrrrwatna RrTrVwarrxr Berberis Thunbergi. (See photo of shrub and 
jupuue&t? UUXJJfcJiry herries below.) This is the true Japanese 
Barberry which positively carries no wheatrust or any other disease for 
which the common Barberry is known. Grows to a height of 2 to 3 feet, 
densely branched, and with a clean, healthy foliage, shining dark green throughout the 
summer, changing to a high tone of scarlet-bronze in the fall. The berries are of a 
showy crimson color, and remain on the bush the greater part of the winter. Without 
shearing this shrub grows into a dense natural globe form; however, it stands shearing- 
well, and can be sheared to forms, especially in hedges. (See hedges page 18.) For 
foundation planting, for groups, for neat lawn border hedges this hardy shrub is one of 
the very best you can get. Has small thorns along the branches. My plants are ex¬ 
ceptionally well rooted, easy to start. 
DOUBLE FLOWERING ALMOND 
Almond, Double Pink 
(Prunus Amygdalus.) Will grow to a 
height of 4 to 5 feet, making a very 
nice bush, with it3 main canes erect 
and bushy in its branches. It blooms 
beautifully in early spring. The slen¬ 
der branches are entirely hidden by 
stemless, double flowers that resemble 
small roses. Blooms in April before 
the shrub gets its leaves. Hardy as 
far north as the southern half of Ne- 
braka. For the North I recommend 
Prunus Triloba instead. The latter is 
much hardier. 2-3 ft. nice shrubs, 50c 
each; 3 for $1.40; postpaid. 
Almond, Double White 
In habit of growth, in 
its wealth of flowers, 
and in blooming time, 
also in hardiness the 
same as the Pink va¬ 
riety above. The blos¬ 
soms are also perfect¬ 
ly double, and are 
pure whitd. 2 to 3 ft. 
nice shrubs, 50c each; 
3 for $1.40; postpaid. 
Rose Acacia 
Moss Acacia (Robina '-*'§1 
Hispida.) Grows to a 
height of 6 to S ft. r 
with light green pinate . fija Bj 
leaves. Blooms beau- - 
tifully in June. The . " ’AJf&ga 
flowers come in long, \ ’wagga 
graceful clusters of 
pea shaped blossoms 
of showy rose color. 
Moss Acacia is hardy 
as far north as the ■ 
southern half of Ne- 
braska and Iowa, also yS^ jrofti 
in the Eastern states. 
Nice 2 to 3 ft. shrubs, 
65c each; 3 for $1-75; 
postpaid. 
SHRUB PLANTING jgSB 
Holes required for 
shrubs should be as rapjljH 
large as those for fruit 
trees. 
Cut ends of roots 
smooth before plant- 
ing. Use good top soil 
to fill in around the 
roots. Water heavily E ajS 
to settle the soil. Jbk! 
n^rl-T ortf Rrrrhorrir Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpurea. In habit of growth, also 
lieu i-cui uuiueiiy in its height Q f 2 to 3 ft. at full growth, the same as the 
Japanese Barberry. However, the leaves of this Barberry are of a bronzy-red color 
throughout the entire summer, coloring up to a fiery red in the fall. In a sunny or 
partly sunny location the color of this shrub is at its best. For 
color effect landscapers are using large numbers of these shrubs 
among Evergreen groups, and shrubs of green color. Can also be 
sheared to forms. My shrubs of this varietv are all well rooted.
