Deciduous 
Flowering SHRUBS 
The flowering shrubs listed in this group will lose their leaves for a 
short time each year. They are the hardiest of shrubs, withstanding 
heat and cold. In fact, their extreme hardiness makes them desir- 
able for mountain homes. Others, because they are not so large, 
can be used where definite height of growth is a consideration in 
the garden. Many produce showy flowers, without which the garden 
would lack much in interest and sparkle.
