Eight Shrubs To the Junt why there is a dearth of shrubs In so many city gardens 1 have never been able to understand. Surely it cannot bo because people do not like them.

More likely It is because of lack of spae. Of course, in congested sections, where the garden is small and surrounded by high board fences, I must admit that shrubbery is out of the question. But the back yard surrounded by high board fences is passing, even in congested areas. The small space at the back of the average city house has real garden possibilities. Even in so small a place, provided you have rich soil and sunshine, there is nothing to prevent you from having one or more specimens of the ordinary shrubs, which, when they are in bloom, will repay you a hundredfold for any time you may expended on their care.

In a sunny garden you have a wide choice of shrubs nnd most of them are reliable. There are, however, eight that I consider well suited to the average city garden. The first is the azalea hinodegirl, a Japanese variety bearing masses of fiery single flowers. It is a low-growing shrub which you are sure to admire. The second is the spiraea vanhou-tel, the most beautiful of all white spire as.

Tile third is the abelia grandi-flora, a dwarf, glossy-foliaged shrub Beta Gamma Phi sorority will hold a tea-dance Saturday afternoon, April 11, in the Hotel St. George. Miss Mary McAulifTe will act as chairman and will be assisted by the Misses Virginia Walsh and Kathleen dure.
