SHRUBS 
Any true lover of nature will find a world of joy and happi- 
ness watching the striking and fascinating changes in flowering 
shrubs through the seasons. They are a delight from the first 
mild spring days when the buds begin to swell until late in 
autumn when the leaves are resplendent in their festive colors 
and brilliant berries. Shrubs are unlimited in their scope—from 
the tall stately Honeysuckle or Lilac to the small dainty Kerria. 
The variety of color in foliage as well as in flower is inexhaust- 
ible. We are only able here to acquaint the reader with a very 
small portion of this wealth of beauty. 
Shrubs lend grace to the landscape planting. They serve: 
many purposes and require little care. Without their arch- 
ing branches, showy flowers and colorful fruit any house and 
grounds appear bare and unattractive. The size and shape of 
shrubs can be controlled by pruning enabling you to use them 
anywhere. 
Generous planting of shrubs around the home will repay, 
in beauty and pleasure many times over, the small invest- 
ment required.
