lines of borders, edges of walls and boundaries; in filling depressions, screening objec¬

From Spring until frost there may be a succession of blooms. Even after 
the leaves have dropped, the brilliant berries and branches of many varieties add

of varieties will insure the accomplishments mentioned and provide a source of 
pleasure to the home owner.
