HARDINESS 
VH—Very hardy, 
anywhere in Wiscon- 
sin. 
The above shrub table, with the accompanying landscape 
plan of an average small city lot, will make it very easy to 
plan your own landscape planting. HT Hardyg aay cen 
tral and southern Wis. 
SH—Semi-hardy, 
for southern Wis. only. 
The plan shown to the right is an effective planting 
made up of high, medium and low growing shrubs. The 
taller shrubs for screening, backgrounds, hiding undesirable 
objects, or for emphasis about the house. The medium 
sized shrubs help to give an irregular naturalistic appear- 
ance to the top line of the border planting. Used about 
the house they enhance its architecture and hide its de- 
fects. The low growers finish off the general appearance of 
the property by blending the foliage of the taller shrubs 
into the green grass of the lawn. Likewise, they finish off 
the foundation planting and the edges of the lawn. 
The landscape plan 
of a small city lot, 
shown at right, and the 
shrub table above are 
helpful 
aids to you in the ar- 
rangement of your own 
planting plans. Study 
them carefully.
