HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS 
MUCH OF THE BEAUTY in the landscape planting of any home is supplied 
by shrubs. Their uses are legion and their cost is nominal. It is the softening 
grace of such shrubs as Spireas, Snowberry, Hydrangea, Barberry and others of 
like nature used about the angles and corners of the house, which makes the 
transformation from bareness to beauty. Tall shrubs, such as Lilacs, Honeysuckles, 
Mock-orange, etc., find their proper place in the border along the boundary or in 
plantings which serve to screen out unattractive views. In fact there is a place 
where most every type of shrub can be effectively used. By choosing carefully it is 
possible to have practically continuous bloom in the shrub border. A few of the 
colored twig sorts will liven up the planting in winter. 
FLOWERING ALMOND 
A very beautiful and graceful shrub of medium 
height. It is covered with very double pink 
flowers in early spring before other shrubs 
have budded and is exceedingly attractive. 
2-3 ft., 60c each. 
BARBERRY 
THUNBERGGI—A round, bushy, graceful 
plant. Bright green in summer, the leaves 
becoming brilliant red in fall, with a hand- 
some covering of scarlet berries that last into 
the winter. Very attractive when used as a 
specimen plant or as an edging plant for 
borders, foundations or hedging. See other 
prices under “Hedges.” Select plants, 12-18 
inch, 35c; 18-24 inch, 45c; 2-3 ft., 60c. 
RED-LEAVED—Has rich, bright red foliage 
in spring that remains so during the summer 
if in full sun. Is usually beautiful in fall 
with the red berries, and bronze and yellow 
of the foliage. A splendid foreground shrub; 
beautiful in hedges. 12-18 inch, 40c each; 
18-24 inch, 60c. 
KOREAN—A new Barberry from Korea; 
straight upright grower. Has rich vari-colored 
foliage, deepening in color in the fall. Does 
not spread rust. Red berries. Suitable for 
hedges and specimen plants. 18-24 inch, 
35c; 2-3 ft., 50c. 

THORNLESS BARBERRY 
Most everyone will agree that the Thunberg 
Barberry is one of our most attractive 
shrubs and has many uses, but when used 
in some locations its plentiful supply of 
briars has decided disadvantages. 
But now! Someone has taken off the briars 
and you can plant barberries that are fully 
equal to the Thunberg variety in every 
way and the stems are as smooth as a 
Spirea bush. 
Bushy plants, 18-24 inches, 65 cents each; 3 
for $1.75; 12 for $6.00. 

MENTOR BARBERRY 
Very rugged, strong, upright growing branches 
and quite formidable thorns, foliage is heavy 
and thick and of perfect color—a green as 
dark as the Japanese Yew. The Mentor Bar- 
berry has three valuable qualities; : 
First—its ability to withstand heat and drought. 
During the hottest and driest weather there 
is never any sign of wilting or burning. 
Second—Its sturdy, erect growth carries a thick 
dark green foliage right down to the ground. 
Is never bare-legged. 
Third—It holds its foliage later than any other 
shrub, usually shedding its leaves about 
Thanksgiving, altho at this writing (Jan. 
18th) our bushes are still in full foliage. 
Fine sturdy bushes, 18-24 inches, 65c each; 
3 for $1.75. 
CARAGANA 
SIBERIAN PEA TREE—Extremely hardy. 
Blossoms are pea like and yellow in color, 
coming forth in small clusters in late spring. 
Fine for border’ or group planting. Does 
well in shade. 2-3 ft., 35c; 3-4 ft., 50c. 
PIGMY—A new dwarf shrub, ideal for a low 
hedge because it requires little pruning and 
naturally maintains a dwarf compact shape. 
If not sheared it attains a height of three 
feet. The foliage is fine and dense. In 
spring the hundreds of small golden yellow 
flowers add much to the interest. 12-15 
inch, 30c each; $3.00 per 12. 
CORALBERRY 
A low, slender branching shrub valuable for 
planting in shady places and for covering 
steep slopes. Its beauty lies in the masses of 
coral berries that ripen in the fall and usually 
adhere all winter. 2-3 ft., 50c each.
