Shrubs | 
Ornamental shrubs are 
the backbone of all land- 
scape planting. Whether 
one is building an outdoor 
living room, constructing a 
foundation planting, or 
making other border plant- 
ings, hardy shrubs are in- 
dispensable. Much beauty 
and individuality may be 
secured through the vary- 
ing heights, forms, flowers, 
barks and foliage of the 
different varieties. 

Of the hundreds of dif- 
ferent shrubs, the ones we 
are growing have proven 
themselves the cream of 
those suited to the North- 
west. Every one has its 
special merit. By selecting 
the proper assortment for 
each situation one can 
build oneself a home land- 

‘‘Let’s Play in Our Own Back Yard’’—and what fun it is in the privacy and beauty of scape of surpassing charm 
an outdoor living room like the one above. A carefully designed arrangement of Daniels 
shrubs—trees—evergreens and flowers can quickly and economically achieve this re- and beauty. 
sult on your own premises. No lot is too smalh and none too large for such delightful 
treatment. 
Suggestions tor Planting Shrubs removing at least one-third at the end of the 
branches and thinning out weak or crowding 
shoots entirely. Manure should never be allowed 
to come in contact with the roots of plants. 
Spade deeply the entire area to be occupied by 
the shrubs—do not merely dig holes for individ- 
ual plants. 
Shrubs should be spaced accord- 
ing to size they will ultimately 
reach. Larger types, such as Lilac, 
4 to 6 ft. apart; those of medium 
height, such as Bridal Wreath, 3 
to 4 ft. apart and the dwarf growers 
such as Barberry 2 to 2% ft. apart. 
Holes should be large enough to al- 
low full spread of the roots. Set 
the plant a little deeper than it 
grew in the nursery row. Fill the 
hole two-thirds full of rich black 
soil, being sure that it is well work- 
ed around the roots. Fill the re- 
mainder of the hole with water and 
allow it to settle thoroughly before 
putting in the remainder of the 
soil. Leave a shallow depression 
about the shrub rather’ than 
mounding the dirt up around it. 
Immediately after planting, the 
shrubs should be pruned back by
