I 
Rare Beauty in Our Na tive Forests 
T takes more than the trees to make a forest ! First the 
trees are full of birds and other life (see page 36) and second 
there are low-growing perennials and tiny green ground covers 
(see pages 11 and 33). Third and very important are the 
beautiful flowering shrubs and smaller trees pictured above. 
These are not all in bloom at one time, as the picture indicates, 
but range from spring to winter in beauty of flower and berry. 
Here are collected together prices on sizes specially adapted to 
use in underplanting your wooded land—making it rather a 
kind of garden in itself rather than just a forest planting. 
All these grow well in ‘‘woodsy” conditions.
