BEAUTIFY TEXAS FOR THE CENTENNIAL 
—PLANT THIS FALL FOR BEST RESULTS— 
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. It is seldom indeed that a 
home in the country, suburbs, or town cannot be greatly improved in appearance by the 
judicious treatment of the grounds ; and for this purpose both evergreen and flowering 
shrubs lend themselves admirably. Shrubbery is most effective in bringing out certain 
features of the lawn and softening harsh lines, to screen some unsightly building or to 
break the outline of foundation walls.

for Southern planting. Blooms in mid-summer and continues until early fall.
