  FLOWERING 
  SHRUBS 
  

  

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

   lowing 
  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 
  of 
  one 
  variety 
  should 
  be 
  used 
  in 
  a 
  particular 
  grouping. 
  Several 
  such 
  groupings 
  make 
  

   an 
  excellent 
  border 
  or 
  foundation 
  planting.
