Ornamental Deciduous Shrubs 
The size following the variety name indicates approximate height at maturity 
Shrubs can mainly be easily kept to half of their mature heights by judicious pruning. 
The charm of flowering shrubs, ornamental shade trees, hedges, and rose 
bushes, tastefully arranged to create an effective foundation planting or a veri¬ 
table living-room outdoors, is irresistible, and the prospect of planning a place 
outdoors that is attractive, livable and comfortable, where the whole family 
can find countless hours of enjoyment, is filled with expectant adventure. 
To enable you to make your home the envy of your neighborhood, to make 
every passer-by stop and look at it in admiration, we suggest you go over this 
entire book and select the plant material you can use. Many home-owners 
take pleasure in replacing overgrown, haphazard planting with fresh, youth¬ 
ful plant-life. It makes a world of difference in appearance and costs 
so little.

cover the plant from late June until early 
October. Plant in well-drained soil in a pro¬

ARONIA • Chokeberry 
Ornamental shrubs grown for their attractive 
white flowers and handsome fruits. The foliage is 
especially attractive in the autumn, the leaves turn¬ 
ing a bright red. This shrub is well adapted for 
borders and perfectly hardy in the North. Bird- 
lovers should plant these shrubs generously, as the 
fruit furnishes birds with food during the winter 
months. 
Arbutifolia brilliantissima. Brilliant Chokeberry. 
6 ft. The best of all Aronias. In the spring the 
fragrant white flowers are borne in profusion, mak¬

HARDY AZALEAS 
These plants, combining, as they do, the advan¬ 
tages of both evergreens and flowering shrubs, have 
deservedly won their way to the forefront of popu¬ 
larity. Once established they remain for years, often 
for generations, becoming more beautiful, increasing 
in value, and assuming a more distinct character 
with each passing season. They should be planted 
in full sun in a soil that has been mixed freely with 
peat or leaf-mold. The faded flowers should be re¬ 
moved at once. Water frequently in dry season. 
All are perfectly hardy, except Amoena, Hinodegiri, 
and Kaempferi, which need some winter protection. 
All Azalias furnished balled and burlapped. 
Amoena. Japanese Evergreen Azalea. 3 ft. A 
dwarf shrub with double lavender-purple flowers

ELEGANT NEW HYBRID 
BLUEBERRIES 
Until a very few years ago blueberries were 
known only as a wild fruit and as thickets 
were cleared out they became very scarce. 
Lately, however, hybridizers have succeeded 
in crossing the fruiting varieties with one 
which has been known only as an ornamental 
shrub. The results were more than gratifying 
as the hybrid still presents the beauty of the 
parent plant and produces fruit of a size 
much larger than found in its native state. 
Foliage is very lustrous and beautiful. 
The requisites for blueberry culture are 
simply a moist acid sandy soil in which they 
will thrive. The use of fresh manure should 
be prohibited as its alkaline content will be 
harmful to the root organisms of the plant. 
Planted and treated properly a few plants 
will give you an abundance of lovely bright 
blue fruits and will be beautiful from the 
time the white bell-shaped flowers appear in 
Spring until late fall when the leaves turn 
through all the shades from green to deep 
scarlet. 
CABOT. June. Bush low and spreading. 
Berries large and of excellent flavor. Light 
blue. 
RANCOCUS. Midseason. Bush tall and well 
formed. An excellent producer of fine 
quality, light blue berries. 
PIONEER. Midseason. The bush is of me¬ 
dium size and produces quantities of light 
blue berries of fine flavor. 
RUBEL. Late. The bush is tall, well shaped, 
and attractive, and produces an abundance 
of slightly tart high quality berries.
