SHRUBS 
ORNAMENTAL FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Our shrubs are grown with ample space in the nursery rows to insure vigorous growth 
and a complete development. They, likewise, lift with strong roots. 
All shrubs marked B & B will be dug with balls of earth and wrapped in burlap with¬ 
out additional charge. Any other shrubs not so marked will be dug with bare roots unless 
requested otherwise when an extra charge for balling will be made as scheduled on page 58 . 
PRUNING 
Renewal pruning of shrubs is a very necessary process towards continuing the life 
and vitality of the plants. By this is meant the removal of old wood thereby promoting new 
growth on which the shrub will continue to flower and fruit. Trees, too, require thinning 
and the removal of cross branches. We have a crew thoroughly experienced in pruning 
all types of plants from rose bushes to forest trees. They are equipped and capable of 
reaching the very tips of any sized tree and all cuts are carefully treated with a special 
tree paint. These men are also experienced in the treatment and filling of cavities of all 
sizes, and the guying and bracing of old trees.
