PLANT THESE SHADE LOVERS FOR BEAUTY ... GRACE 
TALL GROWING 
Shade Group 
The tall shade group solves the problem of what to plant 
between windows on the east, north, and northeast ex- 
posure of the home. It supplies the background plants for 
medium and low-growing shade-lovers. Plant in groups of 
three of the same type for best effect in broad areas. Shade 
lovers enjoy late afternoon or evening irrigation by sprink- 
ler; it keeps the foliage moist and clean and the surplus 
water goes into the soil to supply the roots.
