There is no other improvement you can make on your 
home and its surroundings that would give such strik¬ 
ing results so quickly and so economically as by plant¬ 
ing shrubs, trees and plants. Plant good, hardy stock, 
and this is what I am offering you. For Sonderegger’s 
stock is upland Nebraska grown, subjected to severe 
winters, and extremely hot and dry summers. Son- 
deregger stock is known by its greater hardiness.

outstanding varieties 
Altheas are all of upright g-rowth, 
reaching a height of 6 to 7 feet, with 
a rich foliage, and coming to full 
bloom in late summer and fall. I am 
listing the best 5 varieties known to 
me. and the hardiest. Altheas do well 
in the Eastern states. In the Mid- 
West they should have a cover over 
winter, leaves or straw 2 feet deep, 
and the shrubs can be cut back to 2 
feet height in the spring. Will make 
a bushy growth with this care, and 
bloom the same year.

Barberrv Thunbf»rm (Japanese Barberry.) Grows to 
XJUIUtfiry launoergi^ height of 2 to 3 feet, densely 
branched and with a clean, healthy foliage, shining dark green 
throughout the summer, changing to a high tone of scarlet in 
the fall. Berries showy crimson, remaining on the bush through 
the winter are adding to the splendid appearance of this shnub. 
Stands shearing well, and is often grown for globe and box 
shapes, also for hedges. Has small thorns along the branches. 
For a neat bolder shrub this is one of the best. 
Red Leaf Barberry (Atropurpurea) ?y fH 
strain as the Japanese Barberry, also growing to a height of 2 
to 3 ft. However, the foliage of this barberry is of a bronzy- 
red color throughout the entire summer, coloring up to a fiery 
red in the fall. In a sunny or partly sunny place the color 
develops best, in full shade it remains almost green. Can also 
be sheared to forms, in landscape work it is used very gener¬ 
ally for color effect. My shrubs are selected for extra good 
color.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
For shrubs the preparation of the holes, the soil, and the handling of the shipment upon arrival is the same as described under 
fruit trees beginning with page 4 of this book. Cut the ends of the roots smooth just before planting, use good top soil (without 
adding fertilizer) to fill in around the roots, and water heavHy to settle the soil.
