DECIDUOUS TREES 
There is an untiring loveliness in trees as they continually change 
with the seasons. At the first breath of spring, the swelling buds 
open into dainty flowers, often inconspicuous, but none the less beau¬ 
tiful. Then follows the delicate tints of expanding leaves that deepen 
into the richness of mid-summer greens. The chill of autumn brings 
new beauty in the myriad of gorgeous hues that come almost over¬ 
night. There is beauty in bark and twig and form.

ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
People, generally, are appreciating more the permanent value 
and beauty of shrubs. The charm and grace they lend to home 
ground is invaluable, and, if judicious selection is made, it is possible 
to have a continuous succession of bloom from early in April to the 
days when the frost again nips the flowers of the very latest of bloom. 
In many cases it would be better to plant shrubs in groups of 
several to one side of the lawn instead of following the method of 
planting one in a certain place and spoiling the effect of the open lawn.
