a SHRUBS 
The flowering shrubs listed in this group will lose their leaves for a 
short time each year. They are the hardiest of shrubs, withstanding 
heat and cold. In fact, their extreme hardiness makes them desir- 
able for mountain homes. Others, because they are not so large, 
can be used where definite height of growth is a consideration in 
the garden. Many produce showy flowers, without which the garden 
would lack much in interest and sparkle.

are much more showy, stay in 
bloom longer, and make fine cut 
flowers. Very hardy shrubs. Gal.
