FLOWERING AND ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS. 
It seems a long way from the rose covered cottage of the peasant to the formal gar- 
den of the Kmpcror, but it is the same thing that constitutes the beauty of both. The 
importance of flowers and shrubbery, as completing architectural beauty, was emphasized 
at the gii. Louis Exposition in the enormous amounts of time, space and money that were given 
to horticultural decoration. With very little expenditure the nlainest farmhouse can be made 
a vertiable bower and the ugliest suburban home can, by the judicious planting of trellises, vines, 
shrubs, etc., become the envy of the miUionaire across the street. A protrudmg upper mndow, 
uglv in it.self, co\ered with clambering vines and roses is one of the most beautiful things one 
could imagine. Flowering shrubs appear at their best when planted in groups, but they also 
show to advantage when planted singly, and by judicious selection of varieties a succession of 
bloom is assured all summer. In laying out new grounds we advise the extensive use of shrubs, 
as they make a beautiful showing the first season.
