Bloom young, usually in second year. 
But after ten years they need 6 feet of 
space for best appearance. So plant 
3 feet apart and arrange that every 
second shrub can be removed in later 
years. (Dwarf shrubs take just half 
this spacing.) Shrubs grow quickly, so 
small sizes (see Page 7 for some spe- 
cial offers) are practical for mass 
effects. Most kinds are in the table 
below and described and priced in 
following pages. 
We price two general sizes:—One 
marked * which is small not well 
shaped (but will quickly grow so) and 
one not marked * which is fully shaped 
for a young plant. The larger size we 
will sell one or more; the smaller can- 
not be sold in less quantity than 
catalogued—one must buy 5 (10 rate) 
or 50 (100 rate).

Planting small sizes marked 
in this catalog is much simpler 
(see page 7) but the same in 
principle. 
PRUNING SHRUBS—Flowers come on old wood, so the rule is to prune 
when in bloom or just afterward. Thus no potential bloom is lost. Natural 
shrub shape is to have many main stems in a clump all ascending from 
the ground, so prune out old branches completely at the ground line 
thus encouraging plenty of new vigorous shoots. Branches in flower can 
be taken for house decoration at the time of pruning. 
Shrubs that take care of 
themselves are marked in 
the tables above with a 
“+ These literally gain 
no improvement whatever 
from cultivation—plant ‘em 
and forget ‘em! Some are 
very beautiful indeed.
