Flowering and Ornamental 
Shrubs 
“The beautiful lessons which ‘blossoms’ teach to children.’—Chaplin 

ESAS is a place for flowering shrubs around every home—cottage, mansion 
or palace. A corner needs a little color, a foundation wall needs to be con- 
cealed, a garage should be screened. In all these places flowering shrubs are 
adaptable and useful. 

From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs possible to 
grow—large, well developed, with good roots, and not by any means like 
the shrubs sold on “‘bargain’’ counters, which in many cases are of un- 
known origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer shrubs carry several canes, and only 
the small sizes can be sent by parcel post. 
The size shown after each shrub indicates the approximate height it 
should be expected to attain. 
ABELIA grandiflora. (See page 8.) 
Acanthopanax 
ACANTHOPANAX sieboldianus (Five-Leaved Aralia). 4 to 6 ft. An interesting and very 
satisfactory shrub for planting in a shady place or under city conditions. Branches 
upright, prickly, arching and bearing bright green leaves in fives. If you have a trouble- 
some situation, poor soil, shade or other adverse conditions give this shrub a trial.

to the whole plant. Small white flowers in July or August. A very effective shrub when Aronia - Chokeberry

B. thunbergi atropurpurea (Red Leaf Barberry). 
3 to 4 ft. Resembles the Japanese Barberry 
in growth, but the foliage is brilliant blood- 
red in spring. The color holds all summer in 
sun, but in shady places it becomes a beau- 
tiful bronzy green. Its winter charm is en- 
hanced by red berries that remain until 
spring. Few shrubs attract so much atten- 
tion, or add so much color to a dull border. 
We consider it one of the best plants, and 
our stock is strong and vigorous.
