WHAT AND WHERE TO PLANT 
SHRUBS—VINES—CONIFERS—GROUND COVERS 
To help you in selecting the proper shrubs and vines for your new 
home, or for replacing existing plantings that have outgrown their 
usefulness, we have compiled the following list of plant material. 
If you find varieties listed with which you are not familiar, we 
suggest you read their descriptions carefully (refer to index for page 
on which they will be found) . 
Practically all plants listed for sun will prove satisfactory if given 
half a day of sun and material for shade will generally tolerate 
morning and late afternoon sun. 
Heights as indicated are necessarily approximate. 
See description. 
Some varieties suitable for both sun and shade, as noted. 
The numbers following the varieties are page references to listings in this catalog.
