tion planting, but is most valuable 
for covering small areas in the shade 
where other plants would grow too 
large.

and red berries.

ing in the foundation planting.

valuable group of shrubs for plant¬ 
ing near the house. The less ram¬ 
pant growers with bright red ber¬ 
ries should be chosen. They are 
very graceful and do well.

more common Flowering Shrubs 
may be used around the house if 
their height and spread is taken into 
consideration. Among the best for 
this purpose are the Viburnums, 
Blueberries, Chokeberries, Spireas, 
Forsythias and Winter berries.
