Rambling Observations 

 of a Roving Gardener 





Seldom, it seems to me, have the 

 bushes of the black alder (Ilex verti- 

 cillata) been so loaded with fruit as 

 this season. At intervals when driv- 

 ing through the woods one sees bril- 

 liant blotches of color which reveal the 

 presence of this tine native shrub. 

 The profusion of fruit is being re- 

 flected in the florist shops, where the 

 black alder is being offered in gen- 

 erous amounts this season. There is 

 no reason why this shrub should not 

 be planted more freely in gardens, for 

 its decorative value in the Fall is 

 great. Although it rather prefers a 

 moist soil, it will grow in other situa- 

 tions. It is hardly to be planted as a 

 specimen, for its habit of growth is too 

 open for that, but it is excellent mixed 

 with other shrubs. 



When writing to advertise** kindly 

 mention HORTICULTURE 



The Inkberry (Ilex glabra), is an- 

 other native shrub which merits more 

 attention than it receives. Although 

 its black berries are not so striking as 

 the red fruit of the black alder, it is a 

 pretty plant and very well adapted for 

 hedges. The Japanese plant Ilex 

 crenata, which at one time was ex- 

 pected to become very useful and 

 popular for hedges, has not proved 

 hardy enough in the North to be satis- 

 factory. The Inkberry may very well 

 be used in its place. 



Speaking of hedge plants, I am re- 

 minded as I read the last number of 

 the Minnesota Horticulturist, that the 

 number of shrubs which make good 

 hedges is much larger than is realized 

 by people in general. In the Minne- 

 sota paper, which is the organ of the 

 Minnesota Horticultural Society, a list 

 is given which includes buckthorn, 

 alpine currant, cotoneaster acutifolia, 

 red-twigged dogwood, willow and 

 thornapple. All these are given as 

 plants which should be clipped. For 

 those which need no clipping, Spirea 

 Van Houttei, Thunberg's barberry. 

 Tartarian honeysuckle, lilacs and mock 

 orange are recommended. 



Cotoneaster acutifolia is one of the 

 newer Chinese plants which promises 

 much for the North West. It seems 

 fully able to cope with the extremes 

 of climate and has a very pretty habit 

 of growth. The fruit is black. After 

 a thorough trial Holm & Olson are 

 recommending it without reservation 

 and apparently are getting well intro- 

 duced. No doubt there are other sec- 

 tions in which it would be very useful.
