Leaving trees and coming to the shrubs, I will first speak of 

 shrubs for individual planting ; by this I mean shrubs that can 

 be planted as individual specimens on the lawn. I do not by 

 this mean that I would advise the indiscriminate planting of 

 shrubs all over the lawn. The massing of the shrubs should 

 be aromid the house or as a division line, the lawns thus being 

 kept as open as possible. The dogwood can be used for this, 

 the red osier or golden barked. Of the bush honeysuckles few 

 can be recommended for individual planting. All form a broad, 

 spreading bush, low to the ground. There is a mass of flowers 

 in early June and the stems are later covered with red berries. 

 The snowdrop tree in some locations is desirable because of its 

 flowers in early May. Of the lilacs, the Persian with white 

 flowers is the most desirable. The Pearl bush is effective with 

 its white flowers in early spring. The Japan quince makes a 

 fine individual shrub for the lawn. The Van Houtte's spirea, 

 if properly trained, is very good. The cut leaved sumac is 

 one of our best shrubs with its fernlike foliage. The Japanese 

 snowball forms a fine plant with its branches covered in late 

 June with pure white flowers. The Japanese chestnut forms 

 an upright bush with compound foliage and long panicles of 

 wisteria-like flowers. The dwarf horse chestnut is one of our 

 finest lawn shrubs.
