Ornamental Shrubs Until seen, one can not appreciate the effect that can be brought out by properly arrang- ing and grouping the wonderful assortment of foliage, ranging in color from the darkest green and purple to light orange and silver tints. For hedges, and for giving privacy to home grounds, they are indispensable; and, if selected with reference to period of blooming, it is possible to have flowers continuously from April to November. No yard is complete without one or more beautiful flowering shrubs. Irregular groups or masses of shrubs arranged against buildings, fences or property lines are much more effective than single specimens. A good arrangement of shrubs provides wide open spaces near the center of the lawn. Amelanchier Amelanchier botryapiiun (Dwarf Juneberry). A. ATilgaris (Serviceberry). Ornamental, black, sweet fruit. Amorpha Amorpha fmti- cosa (False Indi- go). Flowers dark bluish purple in July. Valuable for massing on rocky slopes. Amygdalus - Almond A vigorous, beautiful shrub covered in May with fine blossoms. Amygdalus rosea flore pleno (Pink Flower- ing Almond). A. alba plena (White Flowering Almond). Aralia Aralia peiitaphylla. A pretty medium sized shrub. Holds leaves until late in Fall. Valu- able for screen planting. Flowers inconspicu- ous. A. spinosa (Hercules Club). A large shrub with stout prickly stems and compound leaves, flowers creamy white in huge panicles some- times 2 feet long, followed by dark purple berries, giving a tropical appearance to land- scape planting.
