IV) DECIDUOUS 
SHRUBS | 
4 Bisetes permanent garden citt- 
zens are the quickest and easi- 
est to establish. At two or three 
years of age they begin bursting : 
into vigorous bloom, in many Forsythia 
cases. It is not therefore realized 
that their maturity is much nobler than their early flowering 
stages, and they are often crowded too closely together 
making a mass of starved greenery that is squeezed shape- 
less. On the other hand, to allow 6 feet circles for shrubs 
looks bare and awkward in the first half dozen years. Prac- 
tical men plant approximately 3 feet apart and so plan the 
planting that after a number of years every second shrub 
can be removed, leaving the planting 6 feet each way. For 
dwarf shrubs these figures should be cut in half.
