Decoratwe Shrubs 
Fresh, Vigorous Plants—Sure to Grow 
FLOWERING shrubs create natural 
beauty and loveliness and are indis- 
pensable to the landscape gardener. 
Please note what an important 
part shrubs play in the landscape 
design to the left. 
Against a house foundation the 
shrubs blend the house with the 
grounds and create a lovely softening 
effect. On both sides of the property 
and across the rear, shrubs contribute 
a delightful frame to the picture. 
They also give privacy and a beautiful 
background for annual and perennial 
flowers, besides their own beauty of 
flowers, berries and varying foliage 
colors. 
Our large list of hardy varieties 
contains all the worth-while shrubs 
adapted to the rigorous climate of 
this section of the country. By thought- 
ful selection continuous interest may 
be obtained from early spring until 
late fall through successive blooming 
periods.

ALMOND, Flowering. (Amygdalus.) 3 to 4 ft. Small, pink double 
flowers along stems in May. Needs winter protection. Though 
we have Flowering Almonds for sale, we suggest to our cus- 
tomers that the Double Flowering Plum be used instead. Flow- 
ering Almonds, except the Siberian Almond, are not strictly 
hardy in Minnesota while the double flowering plums are. 
They resemble one another closely.
