Ornamental Shrubs 
For softening the sharp angles or stiff lines of foun- 
dation walls or boundaries, screening of objectionable 
views, mass planting for effect or bringing out features 
of landscape beauty, shrubs cannot be dispensed with 
in lawn ornamentation. Proper selection as to height 
and judicious choosing of varieties will insure the ac- 
complishments of any of these objects and provide a 
succession of bloom from spring until fall. 
The deciduous shrubs include many interesting plants 
with foliage of various shades, and flowers of every 
color. When planted as specimens and allowed to 
develop in symmetry and natural grace, shrubs become 
objects of beauty.
