SHRUBS 
Ornamental Shrubs 
Ornamental shrubs look better when planted three or 
more of a kind grouped together, if the size of the plot 
will permit. They are suitable for border planting around 
the walks and lawns and also the low growing varieties for 
foundation planting around the house and porch. To make 
it easier to select shrubs for particular purposes, we have 
adopted letters to denote the average height to which the 
various shrubs grow at maturity. 
“T” denotes shrubs 12 to 15 feet. 
“L” denotes shrubs 8 to 12 feet. 
“M” denotes shrubs 6 to 8 feet. 
“ S ” denotes shrubs 3 to 6 feet. 
“D” denotes shrubs 2 to 3 feet.
