FACTS ABOUT WARDS FLOWERING SHRUBS 
From hundreds of varieties of Deciduous Shrubs, Wards have chosen 
those on Pages 24 to 27 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. Young plants are pruned for heavier growth, 
sprayed to insure freedom from insects and disease. All accurately 
graded to standards set up by the American Association of Nursery- 
men. Some varieties bloom first year, others second year. 
SMALL Size. Tops up to 18 inches. Offered only in slow growing and 
dwarf shrubs. Compares to regular medium size of taller varieties. 
Meptum Size. 18—24-inch tops. Good size for general low cost plant- 
ing. Strong root system. Nice top growth with 2 or more canes. 
LARGE S1zeE. 24 to 36 inches (2-3 ft.) or 36 to 48 inches (3-4 ft.) Heavier 
root system than medium size. Branched top growth. This size usually 
has 3 or more canes. Best size to give immediate effect. 
WHEN AND How TO PLANT SHRUBS. Set most shrubs 3 to 5 feet apart de- 
pending on shape. Plant in spring or fall, fertilize in spring, and 
prune after flowering unless otherwise indicated.
