Decoratwe Shrubs 
Fresh, Vigorous Plants—Sure to Grow 
FLOWERING shrubs create natural 
beauty and loveliness and are indispen- 
sable to the landscape gardener. 
Please note what an important part 
shrubs play in the landscape design to 
the right. 
Against a house foundation the shrubs 
blend the house with the grounds and 
create a lovely softening effect. On both 
sides of the property and across the rear, 
shrubs contribute a delightful frame to 
the picture. They also give privacy and 
a beautiful background for annual and 
perennial flowers, besides their own beau- 
ty of flowers, berries and varying foliage 
colors. 
Our large list of hardy varieties con- 
tains all the worth-while shrubs adapted 
to the rigorous climate of this section of 
the country. By thoughtful selection con- 
tinuous interest may be obtained from 
early spring until late fall through suc- 
cessive blooming periods.

ALMOND, Flowering. (Amygdalus.) 3 to 4 ft. Small, pink double 
flowers along stems in May. Needs winter protection. Though 
we have Flowering Almonds for sale, we suggest to our cus- 
tomers that the Double Flowering Plum be used instead. Flow- 
ering Almonds, except the Siberian Almond, are not strictly 
hardy in Minnesota while the double flowering plums are. 
They resemble one another closely.

ALMOND, Siberian. (Amygdalus Siberica.) 2 to 3 ft. This new 
variety of Almond is of dwarf growth, perfectly hardy without 
winter protection. The bush is completely covered with bright 
rose pink frogrant flowers early in the spring, about two 
weeks before the common flowering almond. The leaves turn 
to gold and red in the fall creating a beautiful appearance at 
that time also. Very desirable.
