Living Room.” 
The planting of shrubs, shade and flowering trees, ever- 
greens for color contrast, and perennials set here and there in 
the planting will transform a back yard into a place of real 
beauty; where you can entertain your friends in privacy; which 
will serve as an outdoor living room throughout the summer 
and be a source of constant pleasure to you and your family. 
Flowering shrubs comprise the greater part of a landscape 
planting. They are a delight from the first mild spring days 
when the buds begin to swell until late in qutumn when the 
leaves are resplendent in their festive colors and brilliant 
berries. Shrubs are unlimited in their scope—tfrom the tall stately 
honeysuckle to the small, dainty kerria. The variety of color in 
foliage as well as in flower is inexhaustible. We are able here 
to acquaint the reader with only a small portion of this wealth 
of beauty. 
Shrubs lend grace to the landscape planting. They serve 
many purposes and require little care. Without their arch- 
ing branches, showy flowers and colorful fruit any house and 
grounds appear bare and unattractive. The size and shape of 
shrubs can be controlled by pruning enabling you to use them 
anywhere. 
Generous planting of shrubs around the home will repay, 
in beauty and pleasure many times over, the small invest 
ment required.
