SHRUBS YOU WILL LIKE

Home builders who are plan
ming to plant shrubbery on their
lawns will find it worth while to
make a study of shrubs. Set out
shrubs that you will not tire of
in few years. 1t pays to take
your time in selecting. To select
plants intelligently a careful
study should be made of the
lawn, soil, position of buildings,
walks, drives, bodies of water,
the surrounding area, and ada
cent buildings. Evergreens will
not thrive in smoke zones of
cities or near factories.
