An Ornamental Planting—once considered a luxury—is now generally recognized as an investment and just as important as interior decoration of the home. 
Plans for civilian housing projects—both federal and privately financed—provide for suitable planting before homes are offered for sale or rent, as it attracts 
a better class of buyers and tenants. 
Planting not only increases real estate value but adds comfort and satisfaction. New homes are made more beautiful and homelike. Old ones are modernized 
with newer and better varieties carefully arranged in keeping with modern design and the architecture of the home. Landscaping is also considered important 
by schools and churches. Even factories, drive-in theaters, motor courts, and filling stations find attractive grounds a good investment. 
Flowertug SHRUBS 
This important class of plant material has many uses in modern 
planting—in shrub borders, as specimens and the low-growing 
types in foundation plantings. Improvements have extended the 
blooming season, as well as afforded a more beautiful combination 
of colors. Shrubs are inexpensive, easily transplanted and grown. 
Make your selection from the following choice varieties.
