Hardy Ornamental Shrubs 
Add beauty, charm and color to the Home Grounds 
Ornamental shrubs are the keystone of all landscape plantings Whether 
one is building an outdoor living room, constructing a foundation planting, or 
making other border planting, hardy shrubs are indispensable. Much beauty 
and individuality may be secured through the varying heights, forms, flowers, 
barks and foliage of the different varieties. 
Shrubs cover such a wide range of size, form and color that you can 
find some variety adapted to each location or use. The two outstanding 
uses of shrubs are: to soften the stiff, straight lines and angles of the house; 
and to hide any undesirable view such as a bare wall, an old building, or 
the untidy backyard of your careless neighbor.
