Ornamental Shrubs 
Ornamental shrubs look better when planted three or more 
of a kind grouped together, if the size of the plot will permit. 
They are suitable for border planting around the walks and 
lawns and also the low growing varieties for foundation plant¬ 
ing around the house and porch. To make it easier to select 
shrubs for particular purposes, we have adopted letters to de¬ 
note the average height to which the various shrubs grow at 
maturity. 
“T” denotes shrubs 12 to 15 feet. 
“L” denotes shrubs 8 to 12 feet. 
“M” denotes shrubs 6 to 8 feet. 
“S” denotes shrubs 3 to 6 feet. 
“D” denotes shrubs 2 to 3 feet. 
ELDER - Sambucus 
Although the elders are attractive in flower and fruit, they 
are chiefly grown for their beautiful leaves, which make admir¬ 
able fillers among other shrubs. Being rather tall growing and 
of robust habit, their use should be confined to backgrounds, 
screens or tall hedges. 
American Elder (canadensis). (L). Immense flat-topped 
cymes of white flowers in early summer, followed in Aug¬ 
ust and September by luscious black fruits—the source of 
Mother’s “Elderberry Pie”. 3 to 4 feet. Each, 50c; add 15c 
for postage.
