Shrubs 
Cf 
l / rom the adventuresome Witch-Hazel, which sends out her delicate 
yellow blossoms into the chill of early winter, to the Buddleia which saves her 
purple tassels to decorate the waning summer season, there is a glorious collection 
of deciduous shrubs from which to choose. Their appeal lies primarily in the 
wealth of blossoms which they offer, but their foliage and form likewise enhance 
the beauty of the landscape. For the most part, their colors are pastel in tone, 
and there are many whites among them. Theirs is a softening influence; in 
filmy cascades they spread and spray. 
Few plants give so much for so little. For small cost, most of them may be 
purchased, and once established in the garden, they ask little care. They grow 
rapidly and with amazing grace; shower their branches with bloom and shed 
their fragrance on the air. Choose them wisely to suit the location, and you 
may be assured they will not disappoint you.
