Beautiful Flowering Shrubs Frame the Lawn and 
Enclose a Secluded Garden 
“Deciduous Glowering Shrubs 
This class of plants offers a most satisfying com- 
bination of beauty of flower, varying seasons of 
bloom, easy handling and maintenance, and quick- 
est return on very modest investments. 
Many provide extra dividends of brilliant autumn 
foliage and colorful fruits that prolong their attrac- 
tiveness through late fall and even into winter. 
Some, such as lilacs, viburnums, honeysuckles, 
grow tall and quite imposing. Others, like dwarf 
deutzias, barberry, bayberry, cotoneasters and flori- 
bunda roses, are low growing, particularly good for 
use in connection with single-story houses, both 
Cape Cod traditional and modern ranch-type homes. 
Still others are especially useful for close-clipped 
hedges. 
Many other fine flowering shrubs are listed among 
the evergreens, on pages 49 to 53. Spring and fall are 
equally good planting times for shrubs.
