that cannot be given by anything else.

They will increase the value 
of your property and add beauty and comfort to your surroundings. 
Shrubs are as much a part of the well balanced garden as the lawn 
or flower borders. 
Many of them are as decorative as any ornamental foliage 
plant, while others are highly useful as cut flowers, and a well arranged 
planting presents an attractive appearance throughout the entire year. 
Shrubs have many uses, such as a dividing line between the flower and 
the vegetable garden, or between the lawn and uncultivated ground beyond; 
as a background to a flower border; for hiding an unsightly building, fence 
or foundation, or they may be planted in a mixed shrubbery border, in which 
case those of short, dense growth should be planted along the front of the 
border, graduating to the tall-growing kinds at the back.
