S$ 150 We are very proud that it is our privilege to offer this out- 
standing hardy new shrub. It is truly All-American, easy to 
grow and thrives North, South, East and West. Blooms spring, 
summer and fall and will bloom for you this season. 
The picture does not do justice to this amazing new shrub. We 
wish that you could see them blooming here. In May-June 
each one is simply covered from top to bottom with hundreds 
and hundreds of the lovely rosy-red flowers. They are trumpet- 
shaped, 1 to 114 inches across. After this first big display, there 
is hardly a time until freezing weather that there are not some 
blossoms. If you cut off sprays of flowers and use them for 
bouquets, the plant will flower even more freely than if you left 
them on. The youngest plants in the nursery, only a few months 
old, bloom. Those we send you will bloom this summer and fall. 
At Hamburg, the Cardinal Shrub has withstood 20 below zero 
without injury. It is so easy to grow, not particular as to soil. 
Thrives in full sun or part shade. Makes a shapely bush 6 feet 
or so tall with excellent foliage. It is the best hardy new shrub 
which we have ever tested. Ordinarily prices on an outstanding 
new introduction are high. But we want many thousands, all 
over America (except extremely cold sections) to plant Cardinal 
Shrub because we know that just one in a neighborhood will 
bring many more orders. Those who see it, want it. Look over 
your yard, whether large or small. You will find a spot where it 
will fit in. In a few months you will write us telling how much 
you like it. We ship them to you POSTPAID, trimmed ready 
for planting. If you do not want the plants trimmed, please 
mention this when ordering. However, trimmed plants will 
actually grow much better and faster than untrimmed plants.
