PLANTING AIDS 
In order that you may find some shrub, vine, or 
tree for a shady or seashore location before you 
read through the entire catalog, we have listed for 
your convenience such plants. Many of the plants 
which will grow well in the shade, will also give 
complete satisfaction in full sun or part shade. Also, 
many plants listed for the sea shore, will also thrive 
excellently inland. For more detailed descriptions, 
please look under the botanical names which are 
alphabetized throughout the planting guide.
