SHRUBBERY, Shrubs and bushes have two values: 



u intrinsic value as individual or isolated specimens; 



value as part of tin- stnn-tiirc or design of an orna- 



lented place. As in.liviilnal s|nciniens, they are grown 



nr the beauty of tin- spn-irs itsi-lf; as parts of the 



vndscape, they an.- oftm ^a-own in masses, eonstitut- 



ig a shrubbery. It is often advisable to plant shrubs 



specimens, in order to produce the character- 



ty of the species; but the tendency is to plant 



l>' as isolated specimens, and the emphasis 



' II r ir. to be placed on mass-planting. 



' I over a lawn destroy all appearance 



: u|...se in the place (Fig. 2322). Every 

 ' is equally accented. The area has no 

 n iduality. The plants are in the way. 

 Iiwn. The place is random. If the 

 I 'il, the spotted and scattered effect is 





sheared shrub have i 



A mass of planting emphasizes particular parts of the 

 place. It allows of bold and broad contrasts. It may 

 give the place a feeling of strength and purposiveness. 

 The slirubbfry-mass usually should have an irregular 



.'iiilini- mil! L'ln.ially r.mtain ninrc than one species.

 the corners o£ the yard. Fig. 2325. Individual speci- 

 mens may be used freely, but only rarely should they 

 be wholly isolated or scattered. They should be planted 

 somewhere near the borders, that they may not inter- 

 fere with the continuity of the place and that they may 

 have background to set them off. The background may 

 be a building, a bank, or a mass of foliage. In most 

 jilaces, the mass or border-planting should be the rule 

 and tlie isolated specimen the exception; but, unfortu- 

 ii.ii, ly. tins rule is usually reversed. It is not to be 

 nniii'isiood, however, that boundaries are always to be 

 iilaiiir.l or that foundations are always to be covered.

 The terra shrubbery is applied to groups of woody 

 plants of comparatively small size. The line between 

 shrubs and trees is not very definite. A shrub gener-
