SHRUBS AND HEDGE PLANTS 
Nothing adds so much to the beauty of the home surroundings, nothing gives so much pleasure, 
as a good lawn and well-placed shrubs and vines. The number which may be planted will be governed 
by the shape and extent of the grounds; but even the smallest lot has a place for a few. I hey should 
be planted in masses, in corners and about the buildings, always leaving a goodly proportion of 
open lawn. Aside from their value in beautifying the grounds, they actually increase the money- 
value of a property. A city lot, for instance, with well-grown shade trees and shrubs, is decidedly 
more valuable than a piece of bare ground.

ABELIA grandiflora. The new hedge plant, the most satisfactory addition to the list of hedge 
plants in years. Can be pruned flat or rounded on top. May be planted singly or in groups, 
and will add a touch of beauty to the lawn all the year round. A beautiful evergreen shrub, 
with dark green, glossy leaves, becoming bronze-colored in winter. Flowers white, funnel-shaped, 
tinged with pink, delicately sweet-scented, borne in clusters from early spring until late autumn.
