Shrubs are a useful and ornamental addition to any landscape picture. 
They are now more pop- 
ular than ever, but are used with more discrimination in the modern nlanting. Shrubs are not to be 
used merely to fill in the vacancies or corners, or placed in a row along the house foundations, but have 
their special places according to their respective individual habits. 
FOR FOUNDATION PLANTING 
The latest trend in foundation planting is the 
use of a combination of shrubs and evergreens. 
Shrubs will withstand windswept positions as at 
house corners, where evergreens will often fail. 
The shrubs also add interest to the foundation 
planting when berried kinds or those with colored 
twigs or good fall coloring are used and give con- 
trast to the evergreens.

FOR HEDGES AND SCREEN PLANTING 
A shrub hedge is fast-growing, dependable, and 
economical. Some shrubs require more space than 
others, so thought should be given in choosing the 
proper shrub for a particular place. They should 
also be chosen for the foliage and berried effect as 
well as flower effect as the latter is so short-lived. 
A low-branched and dense growing shrub is best 
for hedge and screen planting. Following is a 
selection of best kinds of shrubs to use for this 
purpose.
