i s In ahruha arid true i Unction house and at very low cost Some of the most spectacular color effect in nature are those produced by flower- In shrubs as lilacs others With a little jtidictntia planning a selection shrubs can be obtained that will the ratden a fine display of bloom from early spring to late autumn There are also shrubs which no only give the garden a fine display of bloom but develop brightly colored fruits which are enjoyed both for their color and the birds they attract Still others beautify the garden with the vary- hues of their foliage Lastly there are shrubs that arid winter color to the garden with their bark One of the most important reasons for using shrubs is the fact that theyre valuable time savers Once planted they need little care Except for an hour or two of pruning during the year most shrubs are not touched from one vear to the next Kven if neglected com pletely as they often are they continue to grow and perform the purposes for which theyre planted Weeding is seldom a problem in established plantings Until shrubs are mature and hide the soil completely a mulch not only solves the problem of keeping the weeds under control but even serves as a source of plant food If mulches are hot wanted then the new pre- weed killers can keep the area devoted to shrubs clean with less than an hours labor a year Shrubs are a good investment The prudent man is always interested in cost Its here that shrubs have much to offer as a sound busi ness proposition As weve already out theyre very economical of labor and call for little ex pense in maintenance However their most important asset is that money spent for shrubs is practically the only investment in a home which increases in value with each passing year No matter how fine an air conditioning plant or dish washer you may place in the home the day its installed and in use it begins to deteriorate in value and continues to do so Shrubs on the other hand add value to the home and property every day theyre in Many real estate agencies estimate a good home planting around the average small home adds at least dollars to its worth In the area surrounding Metropolitan Toronto one of the finest shrubs to plant is the Ruddleia or Butterfly bush growing any where from to feet in height As an orna mental lawn shrub and a summer cut flower the butterfly bush is in a class by itself Its unsurpassed in beauty and usefulness for gardens large and small From July until frost it produces an abundance of rich dazzling panicles of bloom that demand instant atten tion in the garden Each of these measure from 6 to inches in length It received its common name of utter- fly bush because the flowers attract butter flies to the garden in great numbers The rich colors of the flowers are greatly intensi fied under artificial light and they harmonize well in all types of flower arrangements Provided you buy quality stock you should get bloom the first year Home gardeners whove already some in their garden know that to get the maximum bloom every year they have to prune their bushes down to within one foot of the ground each year in late winter and early spring This type of pruning is severe when compared to pruning other shrubs but it forces the bushes to give masses of top quality bloom A is like a hybrid tea rose and flowers on the new wood produced each spring The Smoke Bush is a fine flowering shrub Which has the added advantage of having Attractive foliage as well Plants have a neat compact habit of growth and make excellent specimen shrubs for the lawn The cut branches are very useful as fillers for bou quets especially with chrysanthemums are group of flowering shrubs whose blooms appear in late spring Theyre one of the few shrubs that will bloom rea sonably well in fairly heavy shade Most of the varieties are white but some have a distintly pink tinge Each bush produces many stems which rise up directly from the root curving upward and outward The foliage almost completely disappears under the tremendous panicles of small frilled belllike flowers Its also difficult to find a shrub that flowers in late summer The Pee Gee Hydrangea is the answer to this problem These extremely attractive shrubs grow well in the sun in partial shade or even on the north side of the house In August immense coneshaped heads of bloom start to appear and these remain in flower until the end of October In the begin ning they open up a creamy white in color and then gradually change to a fascinating shade of pink When hit by the heavy frosts in late October or early November they change to a fine shade of bronze The Pee Gee Hydrangea is hardy almost Anywhere can be grown either in the shrub form or in a standard or tree form similar to rose Be sure and specify which type you when you order from your nursery or garden centre Roth the shrub and standard forms are rimed back severely at this time of the year cause the bloom will be produced on this years new wood In the case of the tree form would cut hack each branch to within inches of the crown at the top of the stem 1 garden is really complete without at least one Beauty Bush Its known as the shrub of a thousand flowers know of another flowering plant that provides so many blooms each June and July The centre branches of the Beauty Rush grow upright to a height of about feet while the outer branches arch out arid down wards to the ground They bear clusters of deep pink bell shaped flowers with attrac tive yellowish brown throats Each bush seems to shape itself and is never thin or bare
