DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
These spring-blooming favorites add much to the beauty of the early season landscape and 
are a certain indication that winter is over. Combine them with evergreen shrubs for most 
effective results. The early blooming habits of most varieties make a fine combination with 
the early flowering bulbs, for which they form splendid backgrounds.

slender branches, heavily laden in early spring with double rosette-like
