HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS 
There is not a farm or suburban home that cannot be greatly improved by the use 
of a few good flowering shrubs. There are no hard and fast rules to follow when beautify¬ 
ing the home-grounds, other than that vistas or views should be retained or made— 
not spoiled or shut out by a misplaced tree or shrub. Irregular groups or masses of 
shrubs should surround the buildings and follow the fences or outline the yard, with an 
open space for lawn. Flowering shrubs thrive on any land. Plant whenever the 
ground can be worked in the spring until late in May. The earlier, the better.
