FLOWERING 

In the list that follows we offer some 
of the finest flowering shrubs available 
anywhere. The Greenbrier collection 
is one of the most extensive in the 
country, and we are proud of the re- 
sults these plants are producing in gar- 
dens north and south. Both old famil- 
iar shrubs with established reputations 
and some of the more promising new 
ones are here listed. Some are best 
adapted for the lower South, but others 
are perfectly hardy even in the North. 
Choosing the right plant for the right 
place is the perpetual occupation and 
recreation of the enterprising gardener.
