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-
