DREER'S CHOICE HARDY SHRUBS NOTE—We usually begin digging Shrubs about the middle of October, and planting may be continued successfully from then until the ground is frozen. 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. CHRUBS are as much a part of the well balanced garden as the lawn or flower borders. Many of them are as decorative as any orna- mental foliage plant, while others are highly useful as cut flowers, and a well-arranged planting presents an attractive appearance throughout the entire year. 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 benefit of the early spring months in which to make roots and become established before hot weather sets in. Althea (Rose of Sharon) The Altheas are among the most valuable of our tall, hardy Shrubs on account of their late season of blooming, which is from August to October, a period when but few Shrubs are in flower. They are also extensively used as hedge plants, for which they are admirably adapted. Alba plena. White, crimson Duchesse de Brabant. Dark centre. " red. Anemoneflora. Dark rose. Jeanne d'Arc.
