Look carefully around your garden. Do you find any common, overgrown shrubs or out-of-size bushes? These may be 
detracting from the beauty of your garden as a whole. Rather than assets, they quite likely are liabilities to other 
flowers growing nearby. Their long roots take valuable moisture and plant food from the soil, badly needed by other 
plants. Their branches may cast too much shade over other flowers, depriving them of essential sunlight and prevent- 
ing them from developing to the fullest extent of their beauty ... Such shrubs and bushes that have grown too large 
for the space originally set aside for them should be removed as quickly as possible. Give your garden a “facial” by 
removing this overgrown and undesirable material, at the same time give yourself the pleasant sensation of having 
acquired an entirely new picture in your garden. 
vite definite superiority are Lemoine’s new Mockoranges and new Lilacs, as well as the new Weigelas and new 
iburnums. 
Small trees of particular merit are the Flowering Crabs. Resembling but far surpassing Japanese Cherry Trees, they 
are noted for color, hardiness and beauty of bloom. Laburnum Vossi, a neat small tree with golden flowers, Paul's 
perins Thorn or the new Autumn Glory Thorn and Magnolias are but a few of the interesting things for the small 
garden. 
No finer or more carefully selected collection of Flowering Shrubs and Ornamental Trees is available anywhere. 
Make your selection TODAY as all are popular favorites. You will find that such “replacements” will complement the 
flowers in your garden, giving the latter an entirely new appearance.
