DECIDUOUS 
SHRUBS 
The judicious planting of shrubs adds greatly to the 
beauty and value of property, and contributes a wealth of 
pleasure and interest to the home. A good shrub 
collection will present the greatest variety of color 
throughout the season, both in flower and foliage. Even 
in winter it is attractive in appearance from the grace- 
fulness of its stems and branches, and from the color of 
its bark. Irregular massing is the most picturesque 
method of shrub planting, and a selection of varieties 
for every requirement can be made from the following 
list.
