FLOWERING 
SHRUBS 

SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI 
FLOWERING SHRUBS vive the finishing touch 
so much required by small and large home-grounds. 
When properly arranged, shrubs will soften the lines 
of the foundation, will provide an effective border or 
screen, will cover the edges of walls and screen ob- 
jectionable views. Shrubs may also be used for cov- 
ering slopes and for dividing the landscape into small 
sections, and for bordering the outdoor living-room 
of small homes. A selection of varieties will give a 
succession of flowers from spring until late autumn 
and after the foliage has fallen the brilliant berries 
and branches add color and cheer to the winter land- 
seape.
