Shrubs

summer, deciduous shrubs are planted more than any 
other class of ornamental nursery stock.

various purposes. A study of these lists will help you in 
making a selection suitable for your needs. Also you

the letters T. M, or D. 
All shrubs listed are field-grown, heavily rooted bushes, 
and will be packed to reach you in first-class condition.
