TREES FOR WIND-SWEPT GARDENS 109 



Philadelphia coronarius (Mock Orange). Though less showy 



than some others, this is decidedly the hardiest. 

 Phillyraea decora (vilmoriniana). A valuable evergreen with 



deep-green, leathery leaves. 

 Pinus (Mountain Pine). This member of the Fir family is but 



a shrub in stature. It is at home in bleak spots. 

 Potentilla fruticosa (Shrubby Cinquefoil). A low shrub that 



produces its golden blossoms in July and August. 

 Prunus Laurocerasus rotundifolia. One of the hardiest forms 



of the Common Laurel. 

 Rosa canina (Dog Rose) and Rosa rubiginosa (Sweetbriar) 



are general favourites. 

 Rubus (Bramble). The cut-leaved, the double white, and 



double pink are ornamental. 

 Spartium junceum (Spanish Broom). However bleak, this will 



produce its comparatively large pea-shaped blossoms 



throughout the summer. 



Staphylea pinnata (Bladder Nut). The bladder-like seed-cap- 

 sules are striking in the autumn. 

 Symphoricarpus racemosus (Snowberry). Grows anywhere, 



and produces its large white berries in great profusion. 

 Ulex europaea (Common Furze). The double form of this 



is remarkably showy. 

 Viburnum Opulus (Guelder Rose). A pretty native shrub.
