Quality 
• Much of the charm of old-fashioned gardens came from the free use of deciduous spring-flower¬ 
ing shrubs. Their delicate coloring, fragrance and profuse bloom entitle them to an important 
place in our modern gardens. They combine beautifully with early flowering bulbs, lending 
color and interest to the spring landscape before the blooming season of perennial and annual 
plants.
