THE DEUTZIAS. 

 The climate of eastern Massachu- 

 setts is too severe for the successful 

 cultivation of many of the handsomest 

 of these plants which flower much bet- 

 ter in the middle states and in Roch- 

 ester, New York, than they do in the 

 Arboretum. The mild winter has fa- 

 vored them, however, and several of 

 the Chinese species have been flower- 

 ing here in a way which shows what 

 valuable garden plants they may be 

 when climatic conditions suit them.

The Deutzia which has proved perfect- 

 ly hardy in the Arboretum in nearly 

 thirty years of trial, the North China 

 D. parviflora, is not one of the hand- 

 somest species, but crossed with the 

 Japanese D. gracilis it has produced 

 D. Lemoinei which has inherited much 

 of the hardiness of its Chinese parent 

 and proved to be an excellent garden 

 plant here. It is a shrub sometimes 

 five or six feet tall and broad, which 

 every year about the middle of June 

 covers itself with large clusers of pure 

 white flowers. There are several 

 smaller and more compact forms of 

 this hybrid in the collection and they 

 are all good garden plants. Another 

 Chinese Deutzia, D. hypoglauca, is a 

 handsomer plant than D. parviflor; 

 and. judging by its behavior in the 

 Arboretum during the last three years, 

 it is equally hardy. Another Chinese 

 species, D. grandiflora, is the first of 

 the genus to bloom here. It is a 

 dwarf plant with large flowers in from 

 one to three-flowered clusters. Al- 

 though known to botanists since 1832, 

 it has only recently found its way into 

 gardens through the agency of the 

 Arboretum. Several Chinese species 

 which have been injured in previous 

 winters have been covered with

flowers this summer and, if they could 

 be depended on to flower as well every 

 year, would be important additions to 

 New England gardens. Among thes 

 Chinese species which have flowered 

 here abundantly for the first time are 

 D. globosa, D. Wilsonii, D. discolor, D. 

 discolor major and D. longifolia. The 

 last in one of its forms has been cov- 

 ered with large loose clusters of pale 

 pink flowers and proves to be the 

 handsomest of the new Chinese spe- 

 cies, although D. globosa with its 

 erect stems thickly covered toward 

 the ends with clusters of pure white 

 flowers has been almost as attractive. 



NATIVE AZALEAS. 

 As the flowers of the yellow-flowered 

 Appalachian Azalea (R. calendulace- 

 um) begin to fade the first of those of 

 Azalea arborescens open. This is a 

 handsome plant, and the beauty of the 

 pure white fragrant flowers is in- 

 creased by the bright red color of the 

 long filaments and style. This is also 

 an Appalachian plant, and sometimes 

 at an elevation of about 5,000 feet cov- 

 ers with dense thickets only a few 

 feet high and sometimes an acre in 

 extent the treeless summits of Blue 

 Ridge Mountains, and in their shel- 

 tered valleys sometimes grows into 

 great arborescent bushes twenty feet 

 tall and so justifies its name.
