Any house without its setting of shrubbery 

 or flowers is unattractive, and any house, no 

 matter how unattractive it may 'be. can be 

 made attractive and pleasing with a proper 

 planting. Many people forego the pleasure 

 of a beautiful exterior because it is so ex- 

 pensive that they cannot afford the layout. 

 This year probably offers the best opportu- 

 nity to purchase shrubs, at low prices. Make 

 your selection from the varieties offered in

 comparison to the floral beauty and satisfac- 

 tion you will enjoy.
