Landscaping With
Flowering Shrubs
What is a shrub? A woody
perennial that arises from the
ground by means of more than one
stem from the root.
Flowering shrubs play an im-
portant part in the garden. Many
of them are beautiful when in
blossom, and fit into planned ef-
fects in combination with flowers
while before and after their flow-
ering season they serve as a green
background, against which the an-
nual and perennial flowering
plants are displayed.
Such shrubs should be selected
and placed in relation to other
plants in the garden with as much
care as needs to be used in plac-
ing a group of perennials for their
conspicuous appearance may easily
spoil a picture into which they do
not fit. In general they should not
be used in the public areas of home
grounds except sparingly and with
careful consideration of their ef-
fect.
Planting of such shrubs as bridal
wreath, hydrangeas, etc., in front
yards is commonplace. It prevents
the working out of a dignified and
harmonious planting, and belittles
the importance of the flowering
shrubs which are individually
beautiful and deserve to be plac-
ed where their beauty will be pro-
perly set off.
To make gardens more distinc-
tice and give them personality is
an aim worth the effort of any
gardener. The results obtained by
a little careful planning are often
short of marvelous.
It should not be a case of mere-
ly having spirea, dogwood, weigela
etc., in garden, but all subjects
should be used in relation to other
plants to create a picture of
beauty.
The possible • combinations are
full of almost endless charm. It
is not necessarily a case of plant-
ing for contrast of flowers or sum
mer foliage, but good color, har-
mony of the fall foliage also is
desirable. There also must be a
variety of form and heights, nec-
essitating the use of widely dif-
ferent plant material which will
combine well.
The ideal garden of course, pro-
duces a beautiful display of flow-
ers and foliage throughout the en-
tire growing season. When you can
' make your gaitden do this at a
'very little expense and labor, the
real pleasure in gardening is at-
tained.
In planning for the ideal garden
the shubbery comes first as it is a
frame for your garden picture.
Leave tlie center of the lawn
unobstructed, planting the borders
with masses of shrubs and trees.
Soften straight lines and sharp
angles where possible. Graceful
curves are more pleasing to the eye
When you begin to garden, have
a definite object in view. Avoid
too much variety in mass planting
Alternating or "Salt-and-pepper"
arrangement is not nearly so ef-
fective as grouping plants of each
kind.
DON'T LET "GUMS"
BECOME "REPULSIVE"
Are your "GUMS" unsightly?
Do they itch ? Do they burn ? Drug
gists return money if first bottle
of "LETO'S" fails to satisfy.

MOTHER NATURE
Nature wages a continuous battle against metal structures
buried underground. Chemicals and electric currents in the
Boil tend to break the metal down into rust. Rust spots on nat-
ural gas pipe lines soon become leaks, resulting in lost gas,
lowered pressures or interruption of service. All of this
can be minimized or prevented with "cathodic protection"
or other proper corrosion control.
With over 6,000 miles of transmission lines, United Gas is one
of the leaders in this field. This is one of many functions of
the United Gas organization... all of which have the
Ultimate purpose of assuring a more dependable supply of
natural gas to our customers.
