Fiom the general classification which you have chosen, choose if possible, the filler shrubs with which to insure the necessary tall, medium and low growth needed to complete the group- ing. In making your selection of shrubs avoid a "collection" un- less it be that you are fostering a hobby, and for this indulgence a separate area should be pro- vided. As befcre mentioned the framework of the design should be carried out bv the use of one predominant group of plants, which should be divided into three major divisions as to height, form, and time of bloom. Having decided on your materi- als the proportions in which they are most effectively used should be considered, and it is usually agreed that one sixth as many kinds in a mass as there are in- dividuals, is a good working bas- is. You might say that of six- tv-five plants, required in the carrying out of a plan twenty ought to be of one kind, fifteei1 or another, and ten of another, leaving twenty to be divided a- mong fillers of different kinds. Three of three kinds, two of three kinds, and the remainder in variety would be about righ'. Next week we will try and tell you something of how to group these into a satisfying and har- monious whole. It is difficult to overrate tl e importance and interest of shrubs in the garden. Used as specimen plantings, they are of- ten of rare beauty, and in the variety now obtainable of flow- ering, and evergreen, and of those valuable for their atrac- tive foliage, one is far from being limited in selection. The use of shrubs is by no means limited to individual plantings however. As backgrounds for smaller plants, to produce an effect of seclusion, to screen an unpleas- ant view, to provide shelter and food (berries) for birds, and to given a display of flowers where a border or other flower space cannot be accomplished, any one of these may be the main pur- pose of planting, and the other purposes--any or all of them-- will also be accomplished. For immediate effect in the early de- velopment of the garden picture they have no equal, and wisely selected and reasonably cared for plantings are a continuous The arrangement of the shrubs naturally varies according to the purpose which they are to ful- fill. If they are to be used as individual specimens on a lawn, no "arrangement" is required, beyond avoiding the poor prac- tice of scattering them in at random. Specimen plants are used to best advantage some- where near the borders, that they may not interfere with the continuity of the place, and so that they may have a back- ground to set them off. For the most part, mass or border plant- i»g should be the rule, and the isolated specimen the exception. As to selection it is wise to have one predominant factor in the group, which need not of nec- essity mean shrubs all of the same species, but in choosing the dominating material for your shrubbery, consider the shrubs "s flowering, berry-bearing, or evergreen, and from one of these classifications determine the do- minating factor of the mass.
