Desirable arrangements result from careful planning 
Flowering Shrubs 
In altogether too many plantings flowering shrubs are thought of 
solely because of their bloom, but they have a larger place than this 
in making the home grounds beautiful. Certain classes of shrubs may 
be used for covering steep banks, for hiding the foundation walls, for 
separating the service yard from the main lawn, or for a boundary 
line between your own property and that of your neighbor. Shrubs 
form a desirable barrier, preventing pedestrians from cutting across 
corners, offering obstructions to animals, and in all such cases they 
are far more serviceable than an unsightly fence. Nearly every class 
of flowering shrubs will remain green from early spring until late fall, 
and by making careful selections you will be able to have varieties 
with green foliage during the entire winter. Tall shrubs make good 
screens and low-growing varieties are suitable for planting in the 
evergreen border around the porch and at the side of the house to 
hide the foundation. 
The varieties which are here listed include those that through many 
years of use in landscape planting have proved of unusual value. 
They are adaptable to wide variations in temperature, thriving in 
the extreme North and in low temperatures as well as under the 
milder climatic conditions of the South.
