Shrubs are all-important in the planting of any grounds. Either in groups, borders, or 
individual specimens, they are equally beautiful. They are especially effective as a 
screen or border and marking boundaries where formal hedges are not desired. By careful 
selection you may have shrubs in blossom throughout the entire growing season. We do 
not crowd the plants growing in our nursery which allows for the maximum development. 
ACANTHOPANAX pentaphyllum (Ara- 
lia pentaphylla). An attractive, prickly 
shrub of dense growth. The lovely bright 
green leaves of tropical appearance make 
it desirable for a hedge, bank, or slope 
planting. Thrives almost anywhere and
