The above engraving offers suggestions for the treatment of restricted city garden areas. 
By the planting about the boundaries of tall enough growing material so as to screen 
objectionable features and using the foregrounds for shrubs and other attractive plants, 
leaving a goodly plot of lawn undisturbed, one can so arrange a very limited area as to be 
delightfully attractive and altogether do away with the feeling of restriction which so otten 
depresses one in the usual restricted city garden. The same principle applies where greater 
freedom exists, only on a larger scale. 
Deciduous flowering Shrubs. 
THE term shrub is usually applied to such forms of plants as are hardy and make perma- 
nent wood but do not assume the proportions of trees. This class of plants is most 
useful, their many graceful forms and attractive flowers and the many ways that they 
can be manipulated in the creation of attractive effects makes them indispensable. Where 
space is too limited to allow for much tree planting, by the judicious use of Shrubs very 
desirable results can be gained, and in developing a large landscape theme their importance 
is evident. There are a host of forms suitable for general planting and we endeavor to keep 
well informed relative to all the desirable sorts.
