Flowering Shrubs 
Brainard's 
FLOWERING AND 
ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
We offer a variety of interesting and beautiful shrubs embracing various flowering forms, species de¬ 
sirable for their fruits and berries, others for their attractive foliage appearance. Shrubs are always best 
planted in masses, groups or borders, in such arrangement as to provide open areas of lawn, bordered 
with irregular outlines against the boundaries or buildings. It is best not to mix too many varieties in 
one group.
