Flowering and Ornamental 
Shrubs 
“The beautiful lessons which ‘blossoms’ teach to children.”—Chaplin 
HERE is a place for flowering shrubs around every home—cot- 
tage, mansion or palace. A corner needs a little color, a foun- 
dation wall needs to be concealed, a garage should be screened. 
In all these places flowering shrubs are adaptable and useful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs. possible 
to grow—large, well developed, with good roots, and not by any 
means like the shrubs sold on “‘bargain’’ counters, which in many 
cases are of unknown origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer shrubs carry 
several canes, and only the small sizes can be sent by parcel post. 
The size shown after each shrub indicates the approximate 
height it should be expected to attain.
