FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Nature is always bounteous in her gifts to man 
and has been unstinting in giving us a great 
wealth of shrubs with their perfume and 
flowers, with their vari-colored foliage and 
bright fruit. No one with home grounds either 
large or small should be without the enjoyment 
of these wonderful gifts. Who can measure 
the uplifting influence they have upon those 
who are enraptured by their beauty and 
fragrance! 
They require but little care when once establish- 
ed and grow in size and beauty each year. 
They are very effective for screens, borders, 
and for grouping on the lawn There may be 
had a succession of bloom the entire season by 
planting the various kinds, and many will hang 
with highly-colored fruit during the fall and 
winter. 
There is scarcely a home in country, suburb, 
or town, the beauty and value of which can- 
not be enhanced by a judicious planting of the 
grounds, be they large or small; and for this 
purpose there is no class of plants that lend 
themselves more readily than the hardy flow- 
ering shrubs. In this part of the Midwest their 
importance has only begun to be appreciated. 
To meet this demand we have added a number 
of desirable hardy flowering and ornamental- 
leaved varieties to our list of shrubs.
