PLANT THESE Espalien-lrained 
EVERGREEN SHRUBS | 
These specially-grown plants are the 
answer to the problem of planting in a re- 
stricted area and quick, flat coverage of 
bare walls. These shrubs have taken sev- 
years of careful work to develop but will 
need only an occasional trimming to keep 
them headed in the right direction. 
All of the varieties listed below are de- 
scribed in this book and all were chosen 
for their ability to “stay put” with occa- 
sional attention and a pair of shears.
