A foundation planting of Shrubbery furnished by us a few years ag.j. I nn is in the built-up portion of a city 

 and shows that even the persons with very limited ground can enjoy the beauty of a few shrubs about their house. 



Deciduous Shrubs 



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

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

 some unsightly object or to relieve the strong, stiff lines of foundation walls. They will acceptably 

 cover slopes difficult and expensive to decorate other\^1se. As borders to lawns, they are very effective. 

 At the edges of the lawn, along walks and drives, or in distant corners, a collection of shrubs may be 

 gathered that will give a succession of bloom from the opening of Spring until frost comes to destroy 

 the flowers. The possibilities of effective combinations are unHmited. 



The color of the flowers of the different shrubs that are preceded by (R) are described according to 

 Ridgway's "Color and Nomenclature." 



"Var." indicates a variety of the last-mentioned species. 



Shrubs that usually grow over 12 feet are marked (L); from 8 to 12 feet {M); from 6 

 to 8 feet (S); 3 to 6 feet (D); and 3 feet and below {VD).
