Deciduous Flowering Shrubs 
‘The Beauty of Flowering Shrubs ts the Foundation 
of all Garden “/reatment 
ROM early spring until late in the fall, flowering shrubs maintain a certain fascma- 
tion for the gardener and passer-by alike. We have all at one time or another 
stopped to admire a shrub clothed im glorious spring bloom. Losing their leaves 
in winter, they are, nevertheless, indispensable to all plantmgs. After the main 
flowering season we could not do without their colorful foliage and brilliant berries, 
or their colored twigs and branches in winter. ; ‘ 
Our young shrubs, averaging 3 feet in height before pruning, are just at the right 
age for successful transplanting. The desire for immediate effect 1s sometimes unwise, for 
large shrubs do not take hold readily, whereas younger plants take hold without set-back.
