SHRUBS — (o* tf-lacuesik • fyo-Laye . feesi/iiel 
Any true lover of nature will find a world of joy and happiness watching the 
striking and fascinating changes in flowering shrubs throughout the season. 
They are a delight from the first mild spring day when the buds begin to swell 
until late in autumn when the leaves are resplendent in their festive colors and 
brilliant berries. 
We are only able here to acquaint the reader with a very small portion of 
this wealth of beauty. Generous planting of shrubs around the home will repay 
in beauty and pleasure many times over the small investment required. 
EXTRA SPECIAL GIFT 
We will give the “Biggest Little Book of Planting Information’’ FREE 
with every order of flowering shrubs for $5.00 or more. (48 pages.)
