One of the most common mistakes in planting shrubbery is to scatter 

 it about over the lawn in a salt and pepper fashion. The u'ay to secure 

 a satisfactory effect is by grouping. Place shrubs in a mass about the 

 border, particularly to screen off the back yard from the front, and in 

 the corners about the porch or along the base of the building. Plant 

 them about two and one-half feet apart, placing the taller kinds, such 

 as the bush honey-suckle and lilac, in the back, with the lower kinds, 

 such as the bridal wreath, in front. The shrubs sould be cultivated 

 or mulched for the first year or two after planting, after which they 

 become sufficiently established to shade the ground and take, care of 

 themselves.
