Flowering Deciduous Shrubs 
Shrubs comprise an interesting group of plant material which is both useful and ornamental. 
They vary in habit of growth, and in foliage, flower and fruit characteristics, and should be chosen 
with those particular characteristics in mind in relation to the effect desired. There are also some 
shrubs which are used for certain purposes such as planting around the house, known as founda¬ 
tion planting, for hedge or screen purposes, or for a mixed shrub border. In the lists below, 
some of the shrubs are divided into groups for special uses.
