5. Does the Experience of the Past Two or Three 
Years Indicate an Increased and Continuing Interest 
IN Ornamentals and Landscape Gardening i" What is 
theOiYlook? 
Ornamentals. There is a good demand, and more so 
each year on the landscape planting, and we believe it is here 
to stay. The new dwelling is not complete without land¬ 
scape gardening, and this calls for large demands for shrubs 
and hedges like Berberis Thunbergii and California privet.
