lines of borders, edges of walls and boundaries; in filling depressions, screening objec¬ 
tionable views; in covering slopes or dividing areas. 
From Spring until frost there may be a succession of blooms. Even after 
the leaves have dropped, the brilliant berries and branches of many varieties add 
cheer and color to the landscape. Proper selection as to height and careful choosing 
of varieties will insure the accomplishments mentioned and provide a source of 
pleasure to the home owner.
