Charming Effects with Flowering 
~SHRUBS_ 
The shrubs form the greater part of attractive plantings and 
with careful placing and selecting of varieties, with reference 
to location, ultimate growth, flowering season, and foliage, 
form and color, will become the most treasured beauties of 
your possessions. They should be used around the founda- 
tion of buildings, along the edges of the building lot and in 
occasional clumps along the walks and driveways, but it is 
not good practice usually to plant them here and there in the 
lawn. The lawn looks best in broad unbroken stretches and 
this practice increases the apparent size of the grounds. 
Ultimate height of plants will be described as follows: 
Very dwarf—up to 3’: Dwarf—up to 5’; Medium—up to 8’; 
Tall—8’ and over.
