VIOLA—Various Species 
The following species are all happier in full sun although 
they will do fairly well in light shade. The popular belief 
that Violets are shade loving is a fallacy. With few excep- 
tions they greatly prefer a well drained position in the sun. ~

FLOWERING SHRUBS 
The many and varied uses of flowering shrubs certainly 
justify their use in every planting, large or small. There 
is no better background for the large perennial border 
than these and for the small border a few shrubs judi- 
ciously placed add charm as well as affording light shade 
for the plants demanding protection from the full sun. 
They are also used extensively for foundation plantings, 
informal hedges, screens, etc. No planting is complete 
without at least a few of the better type shrubs.
