Following are a large number of beautiful shrubs which are suited to growing in this section. 
Some are admired for their flower, fruit or foliage, others for their interesting form and texture. We 
constantly strive to offer a complete list of all worthwhile shrubs that will thrive in this cold north- 
ern area. If a shrub in which you may be interested is not offered here, we suggest you obtain more 
information about it before purchasing. Perhaps it will not survive our winters. 
For convenience, shrubs are listed in three categories: dwarf, medium and tall growing.

By trimming, these shrubs can be kept smaller than the listed height.
