ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
The judicious planting of shrubs adds greatly to the beauty and value of property, and con. 
tributes a wealth of pleasure and interest to the home. There are a few principles governing 
the artistic arrangement of these beautiful ornamentals that should be more strictly observed. 
In general, individual specimens should rarely be isolated from the body of the design. Irregu- 
lar groups or masses arranged against buildings, fences or property lines, or as border planta- 
tions, along walks or drives, are much more effective. A good arrangement of shrubs invariably 
provides wide open stretches near the center of the lawn. 
We have reduced our shrub list somewhat, omitting varieties for which, although very de- 
sirable in themselves, there is but little demand.

shrub attaining a height of from 6 to 10
