These permanent garden citizens are the quickest and easiest to establish. At two or three years 
of age they begin bursting into vigorous bloom, in many cases. It is not therefore realized that their 
maturity is much nobler than their early flowering stages, and they are often crowded too closely 
together making a mass of starved greenery that is squeezed shapeless. On the other hand, to 
allow 6 feet circles for shrubs looks bare and awkward in the first half dozen years. Practical men 
plant approximately 3 feet apart and so plan the planting that after a number of years every 
second shrub can be removed, leaving the planting 6 feet each way. For dwarf shrubs these 
ligures should be cut in half. 
In the following pages we price two general sizes:—One marked * which is small not well shaped 
(but will quickly grow so) and one not marked * which is fully shaped for a young plant. The 
larger size we sell one or more; the smaller cannot be sold in less quantity than catalogued—one 
must buy 9 (10 rate) or 50 (100 rate).

DECIDUOUS SHRUBS GROW QUICKLY 
Thunberg’s Barberry is slow (as shrubs go) yet 
the l-year seedlings on the left grew into the full 
specimen below in six years! Plant small shrubs 
now and save 80% of what they would cost 3 
years hence. 
PRUNING SHRUBS 






Flowers come on old wood, so the rule is to 
prune when in bloom or just afterward. Thus 
no potential bloom is lost. Natural shrub shape 
is to have many main stems in a clump dll 
ascending from the ground, so prune out old 
branches completely at the ground line thus 
encouraging plenty of new vigorous shoots. 
Branches in flower can be taken for house 
decoration at the time of pruning.
