ALTHEA 
FLOWERING SHRUBS 
The many and varied uses of flowering shrubs certainly justify their use in every planting, large or small. There is no better 
background for the large perennial border than these and for the small border a few shrubs judiciously placed add charm as well 
as affording light shade for the plants demanding protection from the full sun. They are also used extensively for foundation 
plantings, informal hedges, screens, etc. No planting is complete without at least a few of the better type shrubs.
