Hardy Flowering Shrubs 
Ornamental shrubs are the keystone of all landscape plantings. Whether 
one is building an outdoor living room, constructing a foundation planting, or 
making other border plantings, hardy shrubs are indispensible. 
Much beauty 
and individuality may be secured through the varying heights, forms, flowers, 
barks and foliage of the different varieties. 
Of the hundreds of varieties being grown in the United States the follow- 
ing are the best adapted to Minnesota conditions. Every one has its special merit. 
By selecting the proper assortment for each situation one can build oneself a home

VIGORO 1S IDEAL FOR LAWNS, FLOWERS, SHRUBS, TREES 
Thornless Barberry 
Everyone likes the Thunberg Barberry but 
under some conditions its sharp briars are un- 
desirable. This thornless variety is just as 
good as the others and it will not snag your 
stockings. 2-3 ft., 60c. 
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 Men- 
tor Barberry 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, 2-3 ft., 75c. 
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. 3-4 ft., 75c. 
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.
