FLOWERING PLANTS AND SHRUBS 



"It is not a home without flowers." 



Trees are the first objects to be planted. Flowering Plants and Shrubs are the next. They furnish a bank 

 of foliage from which the house appears to rise and in which trees hide their bare trunks. ! 



Always changing in variety of bloom, color of foliage and growth, they are of perennial interest. And In 

 winter we learn to appreciate the varying colors of bark and branches and in some kinds find the shrubbery plantings 

 made gay with masses of bright colored berries and fruits. 



But aside from their beauty, some varieties perform a real money-saving service. In shade it is often diflScult 

 to secure a satisfactory growth of grass. Certain low-growing plants like Japanese Pachysandra and Winter-Creeper, 

 however, will succeed admirably. On banks, too, grass is often a failure due to excessive dryness, and even when estab- 

 lished is hard to mow. Again by using climbing, trailing or low-growing things a permanent bank of foliage and bloom 

 can be obtained and constant upkeep eliminated.
