PLANTS FOR PARTIALLY SHADED LOCATIONS

It often becomes necessary to make a selection of the lower-growing trees and shrubs to be planted in partially shaded situations.This condition may be brought about by the location of buildings, bythe location of individual groups of large trees, and by the locationof scattered specimen trees. We are not considering, in this compila-tion, the group of materials shown in Chapter XXVIII, which is notonly adapted to this same condition of partial shade but has furthervalue in being adapted to heavily shaded areas under wooded con-ditions. The shrubs in this list are those which may be used to agreat degree of safety on lawn areas where a more or less refined plant-ing is necessary, and where native plants are not so much desired.
