FAST-GROWING TYPES FOR SCREEN EFFECTS 177 



which are more or less permanent in their character of growth. The 

 types contained in this last group establish themselves much more 

 quickly than trees and shrubs of a similar kind, which require a longer 

 period after transplanting before making a normal growth. 



Such shrubs as the weigela, the ninebark, and the privet are often 

 used to obtain quick mass effects of foliage around the base of buildings 

 in locations where the slower-growing types of shrubs, such as lilacs, 

 bridal wreaths, and snowballs would require a much longer time to 

 develop a similar effect.
