These Plants GROW LOW 
Use the shrubs described in this section for planting beneath long low — 
windows having a sunny exposure through most of the day. Use them 
for bordering sunny terraces, covering sunny slopes, and as ‘‘facers’’ 
for medium and tall plants in ihe shrubbery border. Group three to five 
plants of a single variety together and strive for mildly contrasting 
foliage tints and textures to lend interest to your planting. This sec- 
tion contains many of the gray-foliage plants shown to petfection 
against a rustic brown or dark green background. The compact 
varieties are useful for low hedges. ;
