Decoratwe Shrubs 
Fresh, Vigorous Plants—Sure to Grow 
Ito WERIN Gushrubs create natural 
beauty and loveliness and are indispen- 
sable to the landscape gardener. 
Please note what an important part 
shrubs play in the landscape design to 
the right. 
Against a house foundation the shrubs 
blend the house with the grounds and 
create a lovely softening effect. On both 
sides of the property and across the rear, 
shrubs contribute a delightful frame to 
the picture. They also give privacy and 
a beautiful background for annual and 
perennial flowers, besides their own beau- 
ty of flowers, berries and varying foliage 
colors.

tains all the worth-while shrubs adapted 
to the rigorous climate of this section of 
the country. By thoughtful selection con- 
tinuous interest may be obtained from 
early spring until late fall through suc-
