cover the entire plant from top to bottom. Makes a rounded bush 3 
to 4 feet tall. Grows from coast to coast and Canada to the Gulf.

The Shrub of the Century 
$150 Since we first called your attention to this unique new 
shrub in the spring of 1947, we have grown and sold over one 
half million. It is rapidly becoming the most widely planted 
new hardy shrub in America. The reason is simply that it is 
truly All-American, thriving in the East, the West, the North, 
the South. Blooms spring, summer and fall. Plants set out this 
spring WILL BLOOM THIS SEASON. 
We wish that you could see them blooming here. In May-June 
each one is simply covered from top to bottom with hundreds 
and hundreds of the lovely rosy-red flowers. They are trumpet- 
shaped, 1 to 114 inches across. After this first big display, there 
are some scattering blooms throughout the season. If you cut 
off sprays of flowers and use them for bouquets, the plant will 
flower even more freely than if you left them on. The youngest 
plants in the nursery, only a few months old, bloom. 
At Hamburg, the Cardinal Shrub has withstood 15 below zero 
without injury. It is so easy to grow, not particular as to soil. 
Thrives in full sun or part shade. Makes a shapely bush 6 
feet or so tall with excellent foliage. It is the best hardy new 
~shrub which we have ever tested. We want many thousands, all 
over America (except extremely cold sections) to plant Cardinal 
Shrub because we know that just one in a neighborhood will 
bring many more orders. Those who see it, want it. Look over 
» = your yard, whether large or small. You will find a spot where it 
will fit in. We ship them to you POSTPAID, trimmed ready 
for planting.
