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, 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 North and in low temperatures, as well 
as under the milder climatic conditions of the South.
