A few dollars spent for some of the rarer shrubs will add an air of serenity and restfulness that will give distinction to your home grounds. Late autumn is the ideal time to plant shrubs.

As growth varies according to conditions we give the approximate height as follows: D = Dwarf (less than 4 feet tall); M = Medium (4 to 8 feet tall); T = Tall (8 feet and more).
