FORBES EVERGREENS and FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Few home owners can judge the real value of an evergreen or flowering shrub. Price comparisons, without 
actually seeing the merits of one against the other, can mean very little. For this reason we show no prices on 
the stock listed below. Our assurance of their worth, your satisfaction with their appearance, will prompt your 
decision. All are of the finest quality, nursery-grown for best development, clean, and fairly priced and not to 
be compared with mail order or special sale offers. The evergreens and flowering trees have balled and burlapped 
root systems and the flowering shrubs are well rooted in large pots. All may be planted in your garden with 
confidence that they will thrive. The sizes offered are those which you can plant yourself without skilled help.
