PACTS ABOUT WARDS FLOWERING SHRUBS 
From hundreds of varieties of Deciduous 
Shrubs, Wards have chosen these on Pages 22 
through 28 to give most bloom under ordinary 
conditions with minimum care. Original stock 
from which parent plants were grown, was 
specially selected from well formed shrubs 
with good habits of growth and fruiting quali- 
ties. Young plants are pruned for heavier 
growth, sprayed to insure freedom from in- 
sects and disease. Plant most shrubs 3-5 feet 
apart, fertilize in spring and prune after flower- 
ing. Most varieties bloom the second year. 
SMALL Size. Tops up to 18 inches. This size is 
sold only in slow growing and dwarf shrubs 
where it compares to medium size of taller 
growing varieties. 
Mepium Size. 18-24-inch tops. A good size for 
general low cost planting. Shrubs of this size 
have a strong rootsystem and nice top growth 
with 2 or more canes. 
LARGE Size. 2-3-foot tops or 3 to 4-foot tops. 
Heavier root system than medium size and 
top-growth is branched, has 3 or more canes. 
This is the best size for general home planting 
to give best immediate effect. :
