Flowering Shrubs bring the greatest return on investment that 
one can put into the home-grounds. They thrive with but little 
Care, are attractive even in winter when the branches are without 
foliage, and when they do burst into bloom transform the grounds 
into bowers of scented beauty. In addition to their lovely flowers 
many shrubs develop attractive fruit which lasts well into the 
winter,
