SHRUBS 
OUR SHRUBS are also hardy, field grown, and have 
developed a good root system which supports strong tops. 
They are the finest shrubs possible to produce on account 
of the long growing season. These shrubs are two years 
old and will give quicker effect—also bloom—the first 
season. Your choice of varieties. $75c each or $8.00 per 
dozen. (Your choice of any mixed varieties. ) 
ALL SHRUBS SHIPPED POSTPAID 
This class of shrubs has been too little planted in 
landscaping. So many want evergreen trees and fail to 
remember that these deciduous varieties make up in the 
spring and summer for their bare branches in winter by 
furnishing our gardens with flowers in unlimited quan- 
tities. Of course there are a few months—not more than 
four—that they are bare, but the beautiful, fresh spring 
foliage, which is nearly always accompanied with myriads 
of flowers, more than repays for this short period. 
NOTE: Most all varieties of deciduous shrubs require 
a good bit of pruning, and for best results this should 
be done immediately after the flowering season, as the 
blossoms of the following year will be borne on the 
wood produced by the summer growth. 
How to Space Shrubs 
In general, it is better to plant shrubs in easy curves 
rather than in straight lines. Put the taller growing sorts 
behind, with the lower growing in front. Do not plant them 
too closely together; 3 to 4 feet apart is about right for the 
low growing and 4 to 5 feet for the taller growing. Keep at 
least three feet away from the foundation. 
At the corners of your home, plant the taller growing 
shrubs for accent points and graduate down to the low 
growing. Along a driveway, plant the tall or medium-tall 
shrubs, using them as background for peonies, iris, phlox 
and other perennials. 
Plant different kinds, so you will have something of inter- 
est all through the season. By carefully reading the descrip- 
tions you can make a selection giving you blooms from the 
Golden Bell, which is the first to flower, until Jack Frost 
catches the Ile de France. You can brighten your plantings 
with shrubs having yellow leaves, purple leaves or red 
leaves. You can have shrubs that color beautifully in the 
fall like hydrangea and the Japanese barberry and Spirea 
Froebeli. Leaves that are large like Hills of Snow Hydran- 
gea and foliage that is fine as threads like Tamarix, Spirea 
Froebeli and Spirea Thunberg’s. 
If you have a shady north side, plant Hills of Snow 
Hydrangea, Snowberry White. 
Butterfly Bush (Buddleia.) Beautiful by themselves, and 
a beloved resting place for summer butterflies. 
Ile de France. (Buddleia.) For a brilliant display of 
color, no plant surpasses this marvelous new creation.
