 lawn of many acres, or an 

 humble dooryard, we com- 

 mend this class of plants as

 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 un- 

 sightly objects, you will 

 find nothing more per- 

 manently pleasing than the 

 shrubs listed on pages 82 to

 fall, about 4 feet apart.
