ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
Marshalls have maintained a trial 
ground of shrubs for many years. 
Every shrub which is considered 
adapted to the West has been tested 
for hardiness, character of growth, 
blooming habits, and resistance to 
fungus diseases and insects. All the 
new sorts have been placed under test 
as soon as available. Only those 
proving hardy and adaptable after 
several seasons trial, have been 
offered. Many of Marshalls' shrubs 
are improved strains of these better 
varieties,and have outstanding points 
of merit not shown by ordinary shrubs of same variety. 
Thus, the Marshall stocks contain only the proven hardiest, best-growing 
sorts and improved strains of many of these. Those that are especially hardy and 
adapted to the Northwest are indicated in this book with an asterisk (*).
