FLOWERING 
SHRUBS 
W HETHER planted individually or collec¬ 
tively, shrubs are an important feature in the 
adornment of any grounds. In groups they 
can be made to emphasize some feature of the lawn, 
to screen the garage, the Iaundrv-yard, or some 
unsightly view. Among borders of the lawn, along 
walks and drives and in corners, collections of shrubs 
may be gathered that will give a succession of bloom 
from early spring until fall. In the list that follows 
will be found shrubs for all such purposes.
