Varieties of Shrubs and 
Where They Should be Planted 
Dogwood 
When all shrubs have lost their leaves. Dogwoods are beauti¬ 
ful because of the color of their bark. Imagine the bright red

Dogwoods are vigorous and grow in shady places. They are 
a favorite of the birds because of their berries. All tall growing.
