FLOWERING 

SHRUBS 
Shrubs are vitally important in creating the pleasing and ever-changing effect in the home and garden landscape. 
A succession of blooms and foliage color changes marks the seasons with their varied pictures. 
In beds or borders, as backgrounds or hedges, or in groups, Flowering Shrubs point to one of the most inexpen- 
sive ways of obtaining better landscaping. While if allowed to go uncared for, some Shrubs may get coarse and 
overgrown, this can be avoided easily by a little simple pruning. 
A wise choice of Shrubs will bring you colorful blossoms throughout the entire growing season. We have taken 
particular pains in growing our stock to keep them well-spaced to encourage maximum development.

AZALEAS, Deciduous. While certain Azaleas 
are deciduous—that is, lose their leaves during 
the Winter—we feel that it is better to list all 
Azaleas together. Therefore both deciduous 
and evergreen types will be found under 
Broadleaved Evergreens. 
BENZOIN aestivale (Spicebush). Native shrub 
with fringed yellow flowers in early Spring.
