DANIELS HARDY SHRUBS 
Ornamental shrubs are the backbone of 
all landscape planting. Whether one is 
building an outdoor living room, construct- 
ing a foundation planting, or making other 
border plantings, hardy shrubs are indis- 
pensable. Much beauty and individuality 
may be secured through the varying 
heights, forms, flowers, barks and foliage 
of the different varieties. 
Of the hundreds of different shrubs, the 
ones we are growing have proven them- 
selves the cream of those suited to the 
Northwest. Every one has its special merit. 
By selecting the proper assortment for 
each situation one can build oneself ‘a home 
landscape of surpassing charm and beauty. 
Our plants are infinitely superior to the 
so-called “bargain” shrubs so frequently 
offered where one has no assurance of size 
and quality, but is simply offered some 
meaningless description as ‘“2-year-old,” 
double X or triple X. The plants we offer 
are all transplanted, well grown specimens, 
with good tops and roots—unusually fine 
plants for the price. 
to see some evergreen from every window 
during the winter. 
6. Have trees frame the view of the 
house rather than screening or hiding it. 
7. The foundation planting should be 
simple, should emphasize interesting archi- 
tectural features of the house, and should 
be ample to “‘tie’’ the house to the ground. 
Use of flowers in the foundation planting 
or in the front lawn area is not desirable. 
8. Plant to frame desirable views or 
vistas. 
9. Plant to screen out undesirable ob- 
jects or views. 
10. Avoid flower beds, iron statuary, or 
other objects scattered around in the open 
lawn areas. 
THE PLAN IS THE THING! 
The plan should always 
precede actual planting. It 
is a simple matter to 
change plants around on a 
plan but rather costly 
if they have been actually 
planted in the wrong 
place. 
The preparation ofa 
= complete plan at the out- 
set is the wisest procedure. This does not 
mean, however, that the entire planting 
must go in at one time. If the plan with 
all details of plant material has been satis- 
factorily worked out, it insures that, once 
a start of the development has been made, 
all subsequent plantings will be planted in 
the right place. This assures one that, as 
the completed arrangement unfolds itself, 
there will be just the right color harmonies, 
continuity of bloom, splashes of accent col-

shrub Pruning Service 
The “secret of perpetual youth” in shrubs is 
correct pruning. All shrubs need some atten- 
tion if they are to be kept looking their best 
—some requiring frequent attention, while 
some “get by” fairly well with considerable 
neglect. 
It is safe to say that any shrub planting that 
has been in three years or more will be great- 
ly improved in beauty and usefulness by 
judicious thinning and shaping. 
We have efficient, well-trained men avail- 
able for this work during February and March. 
It will be a pleasure to consult with you on 
the attention your plants need. A modest ex- 
penditure at this time will add much to their 
beauty and life span.
