aud Flowertug SHRUBS 
ROM early spring until late in the fall, flowering shrubs maintain a certain fas- 
ciation for the gardener and passer-by alike. We have all at one time or another 
stopped to admire a shrub clothed in glorious spring bloom, and from this pause, 
have gained inspiration and a lighter step. 
The members of this large family of hardy plants adapt themselves readily to most 
soils and situations and are found useful for many purposes. Excellent for screen plant- 
ing, hedges, borders, etc. To insure success it is advisable at planting time to cut the 
branches of these plants back at least one half. This treatment will help the plant to 
become established and flower earlier than if allowed to remain as received.
