 which could easily be done, even if covered by plank, by 

 cementing over the plank, the cellar could be used as

CHAPTER XXXI. 

 HARDY SHRUBS, CLIMBERS, AND TREES. 



A PLACE is seldom so small that a few choice shrubs 

 cannot appropriately find room, and in which climbers 

 are not desirable, while in the larger places these become 

 important to its proper ornamentation. Whether its size 

 admits of the use of trees or not, both deciduous and 

 evergreen shrubs, climbers as well as evergreen trees of 

 low growth, are indispensable. We here append a list of 

 the leading kinds in each class, but which by no means 

 exhausts the number of desirable varieties ; and for the 

 others reference may be made to the catalogues of tho 

 principal nurseries, where also will be found descriptions 

 of those here named.
