Hardy Ornamental Shrubs 
HETHER 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 nothing more permanently 
pleasing than varieties listed below. 
They may be planted with equal suc- 
cess, either individually orin groups. 
(Arrange the low kinds in front.) 
Prepare the ground and maintain it 
as if for a crop of potatoes. Plant in 
the Fall or Spring about 4 feet apart 
and mulch with straw or leaves. 
Months indicate the time of bloom 
and the height in feet the size at 
maturity.
