HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 



WHETHER you have a lawn of many acres, or an humble door yard, we commend this class of plants as indispensable 

 to the real beauty of your home. If you select with care, you can have a succession of bloom from April to snow, 

 to say nothing of the beautiful color, form and shadow effects of flowers, foliage and bright berries. For planting 

 along border lines, filling in or rounding off angles or for screens to hide fences or other unsightly objects, you will find no- 

 thing more permanently pleasing than varieties listed below. They may be planted with equal success, either individually 

 or in groups. (Arrange the low kinds in front.) Prepare the ground and maintain it asif for a crop of potatoes. Plant 

 in the Fall or Spring about four feet apart and mulch with straw or leaves. The time of bloom and height at maturity will 

 be found under each item.
