In many cases it would be better to plant Shrubs in groups of several to one side of the lawn instead of following 

 the method of planting one in a certain place and spoiling the effect of the open lawn. In most cases, three, six, eight, or 

 twelve should be used in a particular grouping. Several such groupings make an excellent border or foundation planting.
