ORNAMENTAL FLOWERING SHRUBS 
OLOR has invaded every part of the home, some parts 
of which were once dull and drab. But color has always 
been a prominent factor in the flower garden. With 
the ever-increasing popularity of the outdoor living-room, 
the flowering shrubs have again come into their own. The 
general scheme is to use the Broad-leaved Evergreens for the 
background and for screening out undesirable views, and to 
depend largely on our excellent flowering shrubs to give the 
succession of vivid colors which make the shrub border of the 
outdoor living-room always a place of joy and beauty. 
Thunberg Spirea is among the first to open its lovely blossoms 
to welcome spring. Flowering Quince, the Bush-Honeysuckle

BUSH-HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera) 
Probably the most 
desirable Bush-Honeysuckle. 
and Van Houtte Spirea follow close on their heels. When 
summer becomes hot and sultry and most annuals and 
perennials are gone, the shrub border would become quite 
drab and uninteresting were it not for Althea and Crape- 
Myrtle. Althea may be had in Double White, Double Purple, 
or the loveliest of Shell-Pinks. It seems to rival Crape-Myrtle 
in the length of the blooming season. The popular Dwarf Red 
Crape-Myrtle is practically indispensable at this season of 
the year. Don’t miss the joys of these flowering plants in 
your garden. All are inexpensive and at home in practically 
any soil, With our strong, well-rooted plants anyone should 
have a successful shrub border.
