ORNAMENTAL AND LANDSCAPE DEPARTMENT 
_ The Planting of Tomorrow—Not so many years ago 
Shrubs, Flowering Trees, Evergreens, Roses, Perennials 
and numerous other plants which make the world more 
beautiful were considered a luxury, as was true with the 
1910 model automobile. Today both are considered essen- 
tial. The planting of tomorrow will demand more careful 
design, selection of plant material as to its habits of growth, 
color and adaptability. 
Modernize Your Home Planting—Never before have 
such extensive assortments of much improved varieties of 
plant material been available. Many varieties which were 
good thirty years ago are now out of date, being replaced 
by improved strains. Modernize your planting by replac- 
ing the out-of-date and overgrown plants with more 
modern plants, making use of our efficient Landscape 
Department. 
SHRUBS 
Before describing the varieties, we want to point out to 
the Shrub buyer the very important consideration of the 
quality and value of Waynesboro grown shrubs. Our fertile 
sandy loam soil, our climate, frequent transplanting, and 
our methods of pruning enable us to offer vigorous, heavily 
branched shrubs with a more fibrous root system 
and more shapely tops than the average shrub listed at the 
same height. We know you will be pleased with our shrubs 
and that they will give you excellent results. 
ALMOND, DOUBLE FLOWERING 
(Prunus japonica florepleno) 
2 to 4 feet. These are small branching shrubs covered 
early in the season before the leaves appear with small, 
double, rose colored and white flowers borne in great 
profusion. We offer both pink and white varieties. 
ABELIA 
Grandiflora. One of the most beautiful, popular and satisfac 
tory Broad-leaved Evergreens. The graceful, drooping stems 
and branches are covered with dark, glossy leaves which in 
Winter assume a metallic green. From the middle of May 
until frost this plant produces an immense quantity of tubu- 
lar white flowers, flushed pink, about 1 in. long, which are 
borne in clusters. For single specimens, for groups, or for a 
hedge, we recommend this plant. Hardy as far north as 
Philadelphia. Grows 4 to 6 ft. See color illustration this page. 
ALTHEA (Hibiscus syriacus) 
These are tall, slender shrubs 6 to 8 feet in height 
that do well under congested city conditions and other 
places where some of the woody plants fail to grow. 
The blossom period usually starts in July and extends 
to September when few shrubs are in blossom. Althe- 
as are extensively used for hedge and screen purposes, 
We can furnish this useful shrub in the following se- 
lected varieties: Single Blue (coelestis), Double 
Pink (anemonaeflorus), Single Pink (elegantis- 
sima), Double Purple (purpureus plenus), Dou- 
ble Red (Boule de Feu), Single Red (rubis), 
Double White (Jeanne d’Arc), Single White 
(Snowdrift). See color illustration on this page.
