DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
Bloom young, usually in second year. 
But after ten years they need 6 feet of 
space for best appearance. So plant 
3 feet apart and arrange that every sec- 
ond shrub can be removed in later years. 
(Dwarf shrubs take just half this spac- 
ing.) Shrubs grow quickly, so small sizes 
(see Page 11 for some special offers) 
are practical for mass effects. Most kinds 
are in the table below and described and 
priced in following pages. 
PRUNING SHRUBS = Flowers come on old wood, so the rule is to 
prune when in bloom or just afterward. Thus no potential bloom is lost. 
Natural shrub shape is to have many main stems in a clump all ascending 
from the ground, so prune out old branches completely at the ground line 
thus encouraging plenty of new vigorous shoots. 
Branches in flower can 
be taken for house decoration at the time of pruning. 
SHRUBS THAT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES are marked in the tables 
below with a *. These literally gain no improvement whatever from culti- 
vation — plant ‘em and forget ‘em! Some are very beautiful indeed.
