SHRUBS AND HEDGE PLANTS 
Xolhing acids so much to the beauty of the home surroimdings, nothing gives so nuich pleasure, 
as a good lawn and well-placed shrubs and \-ines. The numlier which may be planted will be governed 
by tlie shape and extent of the grounds; but even the smallest lot has a place for a few. They should 
be idanted in masses, in corners and aliout 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.
