ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
A good collection of Shrubs is not only an unfailing source of 
pleasure but is absolutely indispensable to the well arranged lawn. 
Nature plants shrubs with lavish hand along the borders of the 
woodland. The effect is always restful and beautiful. The attractive 
home is the one neatly planted with Trees, Shrubs and flowers. 
Shrubs planted along the borders, massed into the corners, against 
the porches and sharp angles of the house will greatly enhance the 
artistic value of any home. Shrub plantings are the harmonizing 
feature which link the trees, buildings and lawn into one harmonious 
whole and give that finishing touch of hominess so greatly desired.

Ornamental Shrubs 
BUTTERFLY BUSH — This 
shrub of comparatively recent 
introduction has grown into 
favor almost immediately. It 
is a semi-herbaceous plant, 
by which we mean in some 
latitudes it will die down to 
the ground during winter, 
and while perfectly hardy, we 
recommend covering the' 
roots with manure, leaves, or 
other material as winter ap¬ 
proaches, as it will help to 
produce a heavy growth the 
next season. It is very hardy, 
blooms the first season, us¬ 
ually from June until frost. 
The flower head frequently 
being ten inches long. 
2 to 3 ft.-.50c 
3 to 4 ft.60c
