Flowering 
Shrubs 
FOR EARLY 
FRAGRANT BLOOMS 
Much of the beauty and charm in landscape planting comes from the free use of flowering shrubs. Their 
delicate coloring, fragrance and profusion of bloom entitles them to an important place in your home yard. 
After the flowering season their colorful foliage, brilliant berries, together with their colored twigs and 
branches in winter add year round beauty and interest. 
It is the softening grace of the dwarf and medium height shrubs when planted about the foundations that 
creates the transformation from bareness to beauty. The taller shrubs find their proper place as specimens in 
the lawn or in the border along the lot boundaries to give privacy or to screen out unattractive views. 
A large area of our nursery and the skill of experienced gardeners is devoted to developing our shrubs 
into sturdy, handsome plants that will quickly bring attractiveness to your home grounds. 
Come to the Nursery and see our flowering shrubs. 
select suitable varieties for your grounds.
