HARDY FLOWERING 
SHRUBS 
for all season's bloom 
Our homes become homes in the true sense, only when 
they are planted. Ornamental shrubs are the foundation 
of all landscape 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
