FOR FRAGRANT, OLD-FASHIONED GARDENS 
Plant Roeding’s Quality 
DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
Deciduous flowering shrubs are the fond memories of grand- 
mothers and transplanted eastern and midwestern folk. Even 
we native sons now realize that spring in our garden is drab 
indeed without the season-heralding glory of this mighty 
group of flowering shrubs. Carefully worked into the shrub- 
bery among the broadleaved evergreens, deciduous flow- 
ering shrubs are a valuable asset to any garden. Most varie- 
ties are available in containers for outofseason planting at 
slightly higher prices.
