DECIDUOUS 
FLOWERING 
SHRUBS 
OSING their leaves in winter, they are, nevertheless, indispensable for all inexpensive 
plantings. After their main flowering season we could not do without their colorful foliage 
and brilliant berries, together with their colored twigs and branches in winter. 
Our young shrubs, averaging 3 feet in height before pruning, are just at the right age for 
successful transplanting. The desire for immediate effect is sometimes unwise, for large, over- 
grown shrubs do not take hold readily and after two or three years nothing is gained, whereas 
younger plants take hold with no set-back.
