 >ther varieties valued for their Winter effect will make it an all year source of pleasure to you. 



Deciduous Shrubs 



WHETHER planted individually or collectively, the shrub is an important feature in the adornment 

 of any grounds. There are locations which suggest the planting of individual shrubs, which are 

 allowed space for symmetrical development, and in such locations their grace and beauty cannot 

 )e surpassed. In groups they can be made to emphasize some feature of the lawn, to screen some unsightly 

 )bject or to relieve the strong, stiff lines of foundation walls. They will acceptably cover slopes difficult 

 ind expensive to decorate otherwise. As borders to lawns, they are very effective. At the edges of the lawn, 

 ilong walks and drives, or in distant corners, a collection of shrubs may be gathered that will give a succession 

 )f bloom from the opening of Spring until frost comes to destroy the flowers. 



The rich green of the Summer foliage plays a greater part in landscape effect than is often realized, 

 vhile the bright Autumn colors of leaves and berries are very showy. Shrubs with purple and yellow 

 eaves may be added to give contrast to the planting. When the leaves have gone, the brilliant fruits and 

 iright, conspicuous bark of certain shrubs add variety and interest to the monotony of Winter. 



The snow-covered twigs in Winter are interesting and more pleasing than the bare graves of tender 

 )lants. In the list that follows will be found shrubs for all of these purposes. The possibilities of effective 

 ;ombinations are unlimited.
