Privet Hedge 
Flowering Shrubs 
Nature is always bounteous in her gifts to man 
and has been unstinted in giving us a great 
wealth of shrubs with their perfume and 
flowers, with their vari-colored foliage and 
bright fruit. No one with home grounds 
either large or small should be without enjoy- 
ment of these wonderful gifts. Who can 
measure the uplifting influence they have up- 
on those who are enraptured by their beauty 
and fragrance! 
They require but little care when once establish- 
and grow in size and beauty each year. They 
are very effective for screens, borders and for 
grouping on the lawn. There may be had a 
succession of bloom the entire season by 
planting the various kinds, and many will hang 
with highly-colored fruit during the fall and 
winter. 
There is scarcely a home in country, suburb 
or town, the beauty and value of which can- 
not be enhanced by a judicious planting of the 
grounds, be they large or small; and for this 
purpose there is no class of plants that lend 
themselves more readily than the hardy 
flowering shrubs. In this part of the west 
their importance has only begun to be ap- 
preciated. 
To meet this demand we have added a number of 
desirable hardy flowering and ornamental- 
leaved varieties to our list of shrubs. 


ACANTHOPANAX PENTAPHYLLA (Five Leaf 
Aralia)—Medium-growing shrub which is val- 
uable because of its ability to grow in shaded 
areas. Has light green foliage and makes a 
dense shrub with shearing. Bears small thorn 
on stems.
