FOR EASE AND SUCCESS IN LANDSCAPING CHOOSE SHRUBS AND TREES ESPECIALLY SUITED TO YOUR AREA 
The recommendations given below do not mean that these are the only plants 
suited to that area. The recommendations are intended as a guide to selecting 
plants that seem to thrive unusually well under these conditions. 
Ir You GARDEN IN A MILD CLIMATE: Broadleaf Evergreens are favored because 
their foliage is beautiful all year around. These include Camellias, Azaleas, 
Gardenias, Abelia Grandiflora, Nandina, Daphne and the beautifully ber- 
ried Pyracanthas. Deciduous shrubs lose their leaves in winter, but provide 
such beautiful bloom in season that they are very worthwhile. Among these 
are Spireas, Hydrangeas, Honeysuckles, Altheas, Coronarius Mockorange, 
Flowering Quince, Buddleia, Hypericum, Kerria and Crapemyrtle. In the 
list of trees are Pines, Oaks, Soft Maple, Dogwood, Flowering Crab, Redbud, 
Purple Fringe, Mimosa, Magnolia, Tulip Tree and Flowering Peach. 
Ir You GARDEN IN A SEVERE CLIMATE: Your shrub border may include Lilacs, 
Old Fashioned Snowball, Juneberry (or Shadblow), the Mockoranges—espe- 
cially Minnesota Snowflake, the Spireas, Hydrangea A.G. and P.G., Flower- 
ing Quince, Purple Leaf Plum, the Honeysuckles including the delightful 
dwarf Clavey’s Honeysuckle, and Coral Bark Dogwood, the red branches of 
which are so beautiful against the snowy landscape. Trees include Willow, 
— ———————-, Poplar, American Elm, Birch, Maple, Sycamore, 
(20 WARDS 2a 
Oak, Mountain Ash, Hawthorn and Hopa Crab. 
Ir You GarpDEN On A Mountain Asove 5700 Fr. ELEvation: Your shrub border 
may include Virginal Mockorange and French Lilac, both of which thrive as 
far up as timberline. Flowering Quince also does well. Combine these with 
flowering trees such as Pink Flowering Locust, Hawthorn, Hopa, Almey and 
Bechtel Crab, and the brilliantly berried Mountain Ash tree. For shade plant 
Silver Maple, Cutleaf Birch and American Elm. Hybrid Tea Roses, Floribundas 
and Climbing Roses are usually spectacularly beautiful if they have been 
well protected. The Paul’s Scarlet Rose Climber is highly recommended. 
For Hot Dry Ciimates plant the Oleanders which stand extreme heat, the 
Buddleias, Beautybush, Coralberry, Barberry and Privet. Chinese Elm will 
provide quick shade, and Black Locust (listed as Windbreak) is excellent. 
For SEASIDE GARDENS: Roses are among the most beautiful plants for the sea- 
side garden, particularly against a windbreak of privet or in climbing form. 
Your shrub list may include the Hydrangeas, Privet and Barberry. 
SHRUBS For SHADY GarpDENs: In densely shaded areas plant Rhododendron, 
Hydrangea P.G, and Spirea Billiard. In areas of partial shade use Forsythia, 
the Hydrangeas, Spireas, Mockorange, Lilacs, Honeysuckle (Lonicera tata- 
rica), Beauty Bush, Kerria, Sweetshrub, Juneberry, Azalea and Abelia 
Grandiflora. Vines include Hall’s Honeysuckle, Silver Lace and Bittersweet.
