Notes. — Most flowering shrubs present the best effect when planted in 

 small groups. Flowering almonds are sometimes injured by the winter, but 

 they spring up again so quickly and are so pretty that they are recommended. 

 The same remark will apply to the Japan quince ; of this the deep crim- 

 son variety is the be^t. 



The Mahonia or evergreen barberry should be planted behind a clump of 

 trees in order to be partially screened from the winter and spring sun. In 

 fact, all broad-leaved evergreens profit by such protection. 



Clethra alnifolia possesses a delightful spicy odor. 



The wild dwarf sumac, Rhus copallina, is especially desirable for autumn 

 coloring. 



The Josika lilac possesses the advantage of blossoming two weeks after the 

 blossoms have fallen from thp other lilacs. 



The Rosemary -leaved and Kilmarnock willows should be grafted upon 

 hardy stocks. The stocks of these trees, as we get them from the nurseries, 

 are oftener injured than are the tops. 



Deuizia gracilis is often injured, but the plant is so small that it is easily 

 protected by a covering of leaves or straw. It deserves a place in every yard. 

 Vigorous plants of the large Deutzia, D. crenata, passed this winter with 

 some injur}' in an exposed place. 



The common elder, when properly trained, is one of our most attractive 

 shrubs. On a good lawn which is often mowed, I do not think that it will 

 sprout enough to make trouble. 



The trumpet creeper has been often injured upon the grounds, although 

 it has stood well in a city lot in Lansing. It is too desirable to be discarded, 

 however. If trained to several stems it can be laid down the same as a 

 grape vine. The same may be said of the cultivated clematises. 



DECIDUOUS TKEKfe. 



American or white elm — Vlmus Arnericana.
