Fresh, Vigorous Plants—Sure to Crow 
What delightful memories children will have of a yard like this 
r LOWERING shrubs creote natural 
beauty and loveliness and are indis¬ 
pensable to the landscape gardener. 
Please note what an important part 
shrubs play in the landscape design 
to the left. 
Against the house foundation the 
shrubs blend the house with the 
grounds and create a lovely softening 
effect. On both sides of the property 
and across the rear, shrubs contribute 
a delightful frame to the picture. 
They also give privacy and a beautiful 
background for annual and perennial 
flowers, besides their own beauty of 
flowers, berries and varying foliage 
colors. 
Our large list of hardy varieties 
contains all the worth-while shrubs 
adapted to the rigorous climate of 
this section of the country. By thought¬ 
ful selection continuous interest may 
be obtained from early spring until 
late fall through successive blooming 
periods.
