Ornamentals for Beauty 
Practically 
every family 
has pride in the 
appearance of the home grounds. Selection of trees, 
shrubs, evergreens, vines and flowering plants that are 
adapted and their use in an orderly manner make it 
possible for practically everyone to have the pleasure 
of homes with attractive surroundings. 
Whether it be additions to the home landscape by 
‘degrees or complete plantings, there is no investment 
that can be made in home improvement that is as rea- 
sonable in proportion. Structural improvements and 
home furnishings of course are essential, but the in- 
vestment for landscaping is the only one in which the 
per dollar value will increase instead of depreciate. 
SHRUBS 
For Flowers and Foliage 
The planting sizes of the different varieties listed 
here are described by height. We wish to_ stress the 
fact that height is given for stock that has been trans- 
planted one or more times and has a heavy, well de- 
veloped root system and well branched top. This stock 
should not be confused with light grades of easily 
propagated stock that is often featured by mail at low 
prices.
