WHAT TO PLANT IN FOUNDATION PLANTINGS 
If you have a house built low to the ground, 
such as a ranch-type home, these shrubs 
have been specially chosen to meet your 
landscape needs. They remain low enough 
to retain the spacious charm of your home, 
they won't grow up to obstruct the view, 
and you'll always have plenty of light and 
air. The recommendations given below indi- 
cate a few of many ways in which these 
shrubs may be combined with each other 
and with low growing shrubs on other pages. 
For a 10 ft. picture window, try 5 Dwarf 
Deutzia, planted below the window with a 
Dwarf Mock Orange at each end. 
For a doorway planting you might use 
1 Dwarf Honeysuckle with a Hypericum 
and a Spirea Froebel (from Page 25). Use 
one such group on each side of the door. 
For a corner planting we recommend 3 
Dwarf Euonymus with 2 Dwarf Deutzia and 
1 Hypericum Goldflower grouped in front. 
Pages 22-27 have 
more low shrubs.

CLAVEY’S DWARF HONEYSUCKLE. (Lonicera na- 
na Claveyi.) Blooms in late spring when white 
blossoms dot the shrub. Grows slowly to about 4 
ft. tall. One of the newest, most modern shrub de- 
velopments. Exceptionally good because its neat 
somewhat small foliage is compact from the ground 
up. Shears to make one of the finest appearing of 
all low growing hedges. A well rounded lawn or 
doorway shrub. Recommended for planting under 
low windows if kept sheared. Plant 2% ft. apart 
in full sun in spring or fall. Hardy all zones.

rius aurea.) Rarely more than 5 ft. tall. A 
strikingly handsome, perfectly rounded shrub that 
does not sucker, but retains its neat habit of growth.

light green as summer progresses. Excellent for 
corner groups or accent. In late May and early 
June it is generously dotted with snowy white, fra- 
grant bloom. Easy to grow in any well drained 
soil. Thrives well in sun or shade. Plant 3 ft. apart 
in spring or fall. Hardy in zones 1 to 8.

DWARF WINGED EUONYMUS. (Euonymus alatus 
compactus.) Grows 5 to 6 ft. tall in a compact 
rounded form. Its slow growth and dense habit 
makes it ideal as a low hedge as well as a beautiful 
accent shrub in the foundation planting, or in a 
group of three as a corner planting. Beautiful all 
season. Foliage turns old rose, then brilliant crimson 
in fall. Small brilliant red berries form from July to 
frost, and its curious corky bark makes it very at- 
tractive in winter. Plant 3 ft. apart in sun or shade 
and in spring or fall. Hardy in zones 1 to 7.
