of at least four main reasons. 
First: They are green the year around. Always 
cool looking in Summer. Always cheery in Winter. 
Second: The varieties are so numerous and the 
colorings so varied, that you can produce effects 
utterly impossible in any other way. 
Third: The sizes cover such a wide range that 
you can produce a greenery picture about low 
foundations with the little chaps; or dispel the 
long-legged effect of the high foundations with a 
combination of the taller with the shorter ones. 
In both cases, you turn a glaringly bare spot into 
a restful, pleasing effect; and tie the building 
itself to the ground, making it seem to naturally 
spring from it, instead of just setting on top 
of it. 
Fourth: The less rapid growth of evergreens, over- 
comes the bother and expense of frequent shifting, 
which is always necessary with plantings of shrubs, 
to prevent the eventual over-run effect. Shrubs 
growing together so quickly are apt to make simply 
a green mass, void of any es- Jlleu 17°
