Shrubs are as much a part of the well balanced garden as the lawn or flower borders. Many of them are as decorative as any orna- mental foliage plant, while others are highly useful as cut flowers, and a well-arranged planting presents an attractive appearance through- out the entire year. Shrubs have many uses; such as a dividing line between the flower and the vegetable garden, or between the lawn and uncultivated land beyond; as a background to a flower border; for hiding an unsightly building, fence or foundation, or they may be planted in a mixed shrubbery border, in which case those of short, dense growth should be planted along the front of the border, graduating to the tall-growing kinds at the back.
