MAY BE USED to INCREASE the VALUE of YOUR PROPERTY, AS WELL AS CREATE BEAUTY and BRING SATISFACTION 
At one time an ornamental planting was by some considered a luxury, but is now generally recognized as an investment and just as 
important as interior decoration of the home. Plans for civilian housing projects — both federal and privately financed — provide for 
suitable planting before homes are offered for sale. It enhances the sales value and attracts a better class of home owners. 
Planting not only increases real estate value but adds comfort and satisfaction. New homes are made more beautiful and home-like. 
Old ones are modernized with newer and better varieties carefully arranged in keeping with modern design and the architecture of the home. 
Beautify Your Home at Low Cost 
This important class of plant material has many uses in modern planting. 
We can hardly conceive a garden without a shrub border, some specimens, 
and possibly the low growing types used in the foundation planting. Improve- 
ments in varieties have extended the blooming season as well as afforded a 
more beautiful combination of colors. Shrubs, as a rule, are inexpensive, easily 
transplanted and grown. We offer the following collection of choice varieties: 
ALMOND, FLOWERING (Prunus japonica florepleno). Dwarf shrub. 
Double pink flowers appear in Spring in masses, covering the plant. 18-24 
in. $1.00 each, 2-3 ft. $1.50 each. 
ALTHAEA—ROSE-OF-SHARON (Hibiscus syriacus). An old-time 
flowering shrub not only found in old gardens, but worthy of a place in the 
modern planting. Furnishes Hollyhock-like flowers from Midsummer 
until late Fall, when few shrubs are in bloom. We offer the following colors: 
Lavender, Pink, Purple, Red and White. 2-3 ft. $1.00 each, $10.00 per doz.; 
3-4 ft. $1.50 each, $15.00 per doz.; 4-5 ft. $2.00 each, $20.00 per doz.; 
5-6 ft. $3.00 each, $30.00 per doz. 
BARBERRY, REDLEAVED (Berberis atropurpurea). A sport of the 
well-known Barberry thunbergi, differing by having bright red foliage, cor- 
responding to the Red-leaved Maple. Yellow blossoms followed by red 
berries in the Fall, which hang on well into Winter. Grows 4 to 5ft. Plant 
in full sunlight. 2 yr., 12-15 in., 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 3 yr., 15-18 in., 
75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 4 yr., heavy, 18-24 in., 90c. each, $9.00 per doz. 
BARBERRY thunbergi (Berberis thunbergi). Too well known to require 
a detailed description as this popular shrub is found in almost every plant- 
ing. Used as specimens, borders and hedges. 2 yr., 12-165 in., 35c. each, 
$3.50 per doz., $23.00 per 100; 3 yr., 15-18 in. transplanted, heavily branched 
50c. each, $5.00 per doz., $35.00 per 100; 4 yr., 18-24 in., transplanted, 
heavily branched, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz., $55.00 per 100. 
BEAUTYBUSH (Kolkwitzia amabilis). 5 to 6ft. A shrub with great pos- 
sibilities. Deciduous. Resembles Abelia, but blooms early in the Spring. 
May be used in combination with Abelia and other shrubs of similar height 
and habits to furnish blossom throughout the Summer. Long, arching 
branches covered in the early Spring with masses of pink, tubular blossoms. 
18-24 in., $1.20 each, $12.00 per doz.; 2-3 ft., $1.60 each, $16.00 per doz. 
Abelia

foliage which is evergreen in Virginia, excepting severe Winters—

-asashrub. 5o we are listing it under both Shribs and Broadleaved 
Evergreens. Transplants reasonably well dug without ball, provided 
_ pruned severely at time transplanted. (See page 32 for bailed and
