DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
The flowering shrubs listed in this group will lose their leaves for a 
short time each year but never for long periods. They are the hardi- 
est of shrubs, withstanding heat and cold. In fact, their extreme 
hardiness makes them desirable for mountain homes. Others be- 
cause they are not so large can be used where definite height of 
growth is a consideration in the garden. Many produce showy 
flowers, without which the garden would lack much in interest and 
sparkle. 
Priced from 75c each and up, depending on size and variety.

longer, and make fine cut flowers. Very hardy shrubs.
