Secidueus Flowering Shruls 
This group of shrubs includes many showy flowering types 
familiar to garden lovers. For this they are sometimes called 
“Old Fashioned’’, but they fill a definite need in our present 
day gardens. Their habit of blooming when coming into leaf 
or before, makes the flowers very showy. To liven up a plant- 
ing of evergreen shrubs we suggest planting them among the 
evergreens. 
As specimen plants Erythrina, Daubentonia, Hydrangea, Phila- 
delphus, Lilacs, Cydonia and others will speak for themselves. 
Most of this group bloom early in the season when flowers 
are very welcome in the garden. You can’t go wrong in planting 
these choice types.
