DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
The greatest majority of brilliant flowering shrubs and other ornamental varieties lose their foliage in winter 
(Deciduous). _For gorgeous color displays they should be promiscuously used in landscape plantings. Their winter 
barren period is brief in our Southern section and the color changes in autumn make the absence of leaves in winter 
less lamented. Usually flowering shrubs are best planted in groups of from 3 to 20 or more. They are far more 
effective in this way than planted singly. Put enough of one kind to make a little picture in the landscape when 
in bloom or when the leaves take on the autumn color, or the fruit and berries have ripened. With enough evergreens 
to keep the planting cheerful in winter, Deciduous shrubs should be generously used in the South. 
Pruning should be done immediately after blooming season, cutting the fading blossoms away. Pruning too 
late or when dormant will sometimes interfere with blooming the following season. 
Flowering shrubs can be handled when dormant with bare roots. Better results are usually had with B&B 
plants. For early or late planting and even mid-summer plantings, B&B shrubs will grow luxuriantly. Try them 
and see what excellent results you obtain.

PLANT MORE CRAPE MYRTLES FOR FLOWERS! 
With a large selection of colors, they are beautiful in 
flower all Summer. As they thrive so well in the South 
we recommend greater plantings of all Crape Myrtles. 

cates IT’S | PRUNE EVERY WINTER—For best results 
GREAT | Crape Myrtles should be cut back to one foot of 
Wes | the ground when planted. (By using big sizes you 
get better root systems.) Then every year there- 
after prune them back to within 2 to 4 inches 
where they were the year before. In this way 
you get much larger flowers, thick branches, and 
dense foliage.
