Deciduous Flowering Shrubs 
P ROBABLY the most desirable class of garden material for embellishment of the home-grounds is to 
be found in the list of Deciduous Flowering Shrubs, although, of course, all classes have their places. 
The smaller varieties should be planted near the dwelling, such as the Deutzias, Weigelas, Kerrias, 
small Spireas, etc. Such shrubs as the Peegee Hydrangea and Viburnums should be planted farther away, 
as also should thorny plants like Rosa rugosa, R. multiflora, Japanese Barberries, etc. Broad-leaved 
Evergreens may also be used with the deciduous shrubs with very good effect. (‘‘Deciduous” is the term 
applied to shrubs and trees that shed their leaves in the fall.)
