Fresh, Vigorous Plants—Sure to Grow 
F LOWERING 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 right. 
Aqainst 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-

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.

ALMOND, Siberian. (Amygdalus Siberica.) 2 to 3 ft. This new 
variety of Almond is of dwarf growth, perfectly hardy without 
winter protection. The bush is completely covered with bright 
rose pink fragrant flowers early in the spring, about two 
weeks before the common flowering almond. The leaves turn 
to gold and red in the fall creating a beautiful appearance at 
that time also. Very desirable.
