Make Your House a Home, Have Blooms, Spring to Frost 
When your yard is nicely planted, how proud you and your 
family are of it. Also it creates a good impression on all who 
pass by. Shrubs are needed in so many places, for foundation 
planting, in corners, borders, in groups, often along the lot 
line or driveway. Once planted they require very little care 
and bloom year after year. A few dollars spent this spring 
will bring untold pleasure and beauty to your home. 
You can have shrubs in bloom from early spring until frost. 
You start with the Golden Bell and Flowering Almond, fol- 
lowed by Lilacs and Spireas and for the late fall the Hydran- 
gea P. G. and the coloring of the Barberry leaves. Look care- 
fully through these pages of shrubs and select the ones that fit 
your needs. All are carefully described and some of them 
pictured. ALL SHRUBS ARE POSTPAID.
