FLOWERING SHRUBS 
The many and varied uses of flowering shrubs certainly 
justify their use in every planting, large or small. 
There is no better background for the large perennial 
border than these and for the small border a few shrubs 
judiciously placed add charm as well as affording light 
shade for the plants demanding protection from the full 
sun. They are also used extensively for foundation 
plantings, informal hedges, screens, etc. No planting is 
complete without at least a few of the better type shrubs. 
One-year shrubs may be shipped by parcel post. All 
larger sizes will be shipped Express Collect.
