The Answer to Your Questions in the General Landscape Planting of Flowering Trees and Shrubs 
From day to day we receive many inquiries by phone, letter, or in 
person at the nurseries for our advice and suggestions involving simple 
but very important garden problems. Naturally, many of the:questions 
repeat themselves, and so on the pages to follow, we have endeavored 
to answer them in as concise a manner as possible. 
For the bird lover, there is a special group of flowering and berried 
shrubs attractive to birds as food. For the planting of the average 50 
to 60-foot rear or side boundary line, we have suggested a shrubbery 
border that may be used in several ways. Then there is a group of low 
flowering shrubs, desirable as foreground subjects.

Under vines we feel there are many good ones to be used as per- 
manent evergreen ground-covers either in shade or on banks or in cer- 
tain locations where perhaps you have had difficulty and constant ex- 
pense in establishing a satisfactory lawn or turf. We have also included 
both evergreen and deciduous vines that will cling to stone or brick 
walls as well as those to cover arbors, trellises, or fences. 
We feel certam you will find in the groups a solution to one or more 
of your specific problems, although we realize it is hardly possible to 
cover them all ina few pages. We therefore suggest that you give 
careful attention to these offers.
