Better Shrubs 21 
owering Sie 
HERE is a tremendous number of beautiful shrubs which 
embrace flowering forms of every conceivable variety. 
While some are admired for their fruits, or for their foliage, 
others are admired for their interesting forms or texture. 
Groups or Borders 
They should always be planted in groups or borders; 
rarely as single specimens, unless very large. A good ar- 
rangement invariably provides open stretches of lawn bor- 
dered with irregular masses of shrubs against the boundary 
line or building. Their outlines and habits differ so very 
much that best effects always come from planting large rest- 
ful colonies of one kind or closely related sorts. 
A Shrub For Every Purpose 
Their various shrubby forms contrast with the more set 
forms of the accent plants, and their bare stems in winter 
give agreeable contrast form, and lend accent to the ever- 
green trees. Among the shrubs are found varieties with wide 
divergencies in their ultimate heights. Obviously, the larger 
sorts should be planted in the larger spaces and in the back 
rows; the medium ones in the middle rows. The small ones 
should be used as facers in the front rows of a planting. 
Except those varieties specifically marked B-B, Flowering Shrubs 
are regularly dug bare rooted at the prices given. If desired, we will 
dig other sorts B-B, making the following.charges:
