Flowering shrubs in your foundation planting soften the ground lines of your house 
Shrubs are all-important in the planting 
of any grounds. Either in groups, bor¬ 
ders, or individual specimens, they are 
equally beautiful. They are especially 
effective as a screen or border and marking 
boundaries where formal hedges are not 
desired. By careful selection you may have 
shrubs in blossom throughout the entire 
growing season. We do not crowd the 
plants growing in our nursery, which 
allows for the maximum development.
