Shrubs can only be sent by Freight or Express, at purchaser's Expense. They are too heavy and large to be sent by mail. No charge for boxes, packing or delivery to express, freight or steamship lines in Philadelphia. SHRUBS are as much a part of the well balanced garden as the lawn or flower borders. Many of them are as decorative as any ornamental foliage plant, while others are highly useful as cut flowers, and a well-arranged planting presents an attractive appearance throughout the entire year. Thorough preparation of the soil by spading, and the addition of a liberal quan- tity of sheep or stable manure or bone meal will be well repaid by strong, vigorous healthy growth. All the attention necessary to such a border would be occasional cultivation to keep down weeds, and a little top dressing of manure or bone meal in the late fall to keep up the fertility of the border. In planting care should be taken not to overcrowd, allowing sufficient room for future development, and un- less an immediate efifect is wanted—in which case they may be planted closer and some of them moved when necessary—the majority of the dwarf growing kinds may be set about 3 feet apart, the tall, strong growers, about 5 feet apart. The late autumn is the ideal time to plant Shrubs. The plants can usually be dug any time after the middle of October and set out from then until the ground is frozen, which rarely happens before December in this latitude. When planted in fall they get the bene- fit of the early spring months in which to make roots and become established before hot weather sets i
