Hardy Ornamental Shrubs 
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.
