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.
