flowers a foot in diameter, it certainly 

 deserves a place in any collection of 

 unusual plants. Without question it 

 has the largest leaves and the largest 

 flowers of any tree or shrub which 

 will grow outside of the tropics. 



Naturally Amorpha canescens, the 

 Leadplant of the west, would have a 

 place in this unique collection for its 

 curious gray foliage and equally curi- 

 ous flowers differentiate it from any 

 other garden occupant. Mr. Horsford, 

 of Charlotte, Vermont, is the only 

 nurseryman listing this shrub so far 

 as I know, and he says that he can 

 grow it better than he can sell it. 

 which fact is probably due to the ig- 

 norance of the general public in re- 

 gard to the remarkable qualities of 

 this native shrub. 



I should put in the Bladder Sennas 

 for the strange fruit which gives them 

 their name, and the various red and 

 yellow stemmed dogwoods which al- 

 ways stand out conspicuously against 

 the winter snows. 



Gordonia alatamaha would also have 

 a good position if I could find a nur- 

 seryman selling the plants. Display- 

 ing its Camellia-like flowers as it does 

 in October, when most of the garden 

 has yielded up its beauty to the frost, 

 it is a plant of unusual and most ex- 

 cellent qualities. I would have the 

 Callocarpas, too, if I could get them, 

 which I am afraid I couldn't, for their 

 fall fruits, deep violet in color, are 

 distinctly different from those of any 

 other shrub which grows, and exceed- 

 ingly ornamental. It would seem, by 

 the way, as though the fruiting 

 branches of this shrub would sell very 

 readily if displayed by the florists, for 

 they are even handsomer than the red 

 berries of the black alders which are 

 so common now. 



Then there would be the Japanese 

 Witchhazels, and the native Witch- 

 hazel. Hamamelis vernalis, from Mis- 

 souri. Flowering as they do in the 

 dead of winter, these plants are among 

 the most remarkable of all our garden 

 subjects. 



Even with a list no longer than the 

 one I have given, it would be possible 

 to maintain a garden museum which 

 would be the delight of all who might 

 choose to visit it. To be sure, all of 

 these plants are to be found in the Ar- 

 nold Arboretum, and many of them, no 

 doubt, in other public collections, but 

 I know of no private garden where an 

 attempt has been made to carry out 

 any such plan as I have indicated. 

 Perhaps it wouldn't be feasible or 

 worth while, but in any event it would 

 be interesting both to the man who 

 does the work and to those privileged 

 to see the results.
