stinctively, in designing a home or public building, architects depend on 
shrubs to help bind house and earth together. They bestow color and fra- 
grance, and give personality. From the many kinds grown, the J. & P. Dept. of 
Plant Research has selected those best suited for your home—all subjected to rigid 
“lawn laboratory”’ tests that support the promise in the beautiful pictures. Some 
send out their blooms searching for spring even before snow is gone; others continue 
the procession through summer and fall; some even supply “‘berries red’’ in the 
winter snow. With well-chosen shrubs your home soon learns to live intimately 
with its surroundings, in colorful harmony with the changing seasons. 
Flowering Shrubs also supply interesting decorative possibilities as lawn specimens, 
backgrounds for vegetables and other plants in the border, in the garden, and for estate 
plantings. Plant groups of Floribunda Roses with them and your garden and grounds will 
have constant color. 
Piesesivety, Shrubs are appointed by destiny to belong to the home. In-
