Flowering Shrubs 



In altogether too many plantings flowering shrubs are thought 

 of solely because of their bloom, but they haye a larger place 

 than this in making the honif^ 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 proportv and 

 that of your neighbor. Shrubs form a desirable barrier, prevent- 

 ing 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 Xorth and in low temperatures, as well 

 as under -the milder climatic conditions of the South.
