T HIS list includes many of the hardy, easy to 
grow, varieties, with various colored blossoms 
which beg'in to bloom in the early spring- and 
continue till late fall. By selecting- the different 
varieties, a continuous bloom will be the result. 
Some with persistent red berries give color through¬ 
out the winter. If placed in front of higher ever¬ 
greens, the winter screen effect is more satisfac¬ 
tory when the shrubs have shed their leaves. 
As a rule all shrubs are better if kept pruned, to 
prevent becoming scraggly and taking up too much 
room. It is often better to plant two or three in a 
group where space permits.
