Flowering Shrubs 
To this popular group belong many of the old standby New England plants. They are economical to plant, 
yet one can, by careful selection, have 
a border or group of these plants that will bloom from early Spring until 
well into the Fall. Many have colorful foliage, and bear attractive fruit in addition to their lovely blossoms. 
Although we list only one size and price for each variety, we do offer smaller and larger plants than those listed.
