WHERE TO PLANT 
Along the foundation of the house, in the corners of the walk, along the 
borders of the lot, and enclose the “back lawn” to make an Outdoor Living 
Room. Plant in groups so they will appear natural. 
The shrubs described are dependable in this climate. Many more less desir¬ 
able could be included, but this is a selected list that will give you satisfaction. 
Plant freely as the prices are extremely low this year and you can get a splendid 
assortment for a small sum.
