and they will be your favorites too, when they embellish your 
garden with color and fragrance. 
One doesn’t have to have a multitude of varieties to achieve the 
utmost in gay color effect. Indeed, the most striking landscape 
composition is accomplished by massing several plants of a single 
variety in a group, border, background or screen. We have tried 
to help you in your selections by restricting our list to the better 
and more reliable varieties 
Note our emphasis on low-growing and dwarf shrubs, so im- 
portant with modern architecture.
