resemble the orange-blossom, and are equally fragrant, 

 though with not so delicate a perfume. It grows to a large 

 size, but retains its regular rounded bush form even when 

 of great age. The shrub will be greatly improved in form 

 if now and then a large central branch is cut out. 



Golden-leaved Mock Orange (P. c., var. aureus}. 

 Very similar in leaf and flower to the last, but of a smaller 

 growth, and with leaves that are of a bright golden color 

 when young, but changing to a light green during the latter 

 part of the summer. In contrast with the purple barberry, 

 purple hazel nut, or other similarly colored foliage-shrubs 

 it produces most beautiful effects. 



Large-flowered Mock Orange (P. inodorus), Fig. 128. 

 A shrub of large, coarse growth, producing conspicuous 

 single, white, non-odorous flowers the last of June. 



White Fringe (Chionanthus virginica), Fig. 129. One 

 of the most beautiful of our flowering shrubs, with its some- 

 what stiff upright branches fringed with lace-like white 

 flowers. Its blossoms last but a short time, but the heavy 

 dark-green foliage is ornamental all summer. If planted 

 in too rich soil it is sometimes winter-killed, and should be 

 grown rather slowly to cause a more thorough ripening of 

 the wood. 



Purple Fringe or Smoke Bush (Rhus Cotinus), Fig. 130. 

 The beautiful mass of filaments produced about the 

 flowers and fruit of this plant, often called " smoke " or 

 " mist," is a most conspicuous and beautiful object in well- 

 grown specimens on the lawn or in the garden. To succeed 

 best it must be grown slowly; if forced into a rapid growth 

 in a rich border it is likely to be injured by cold and soon 

 die, while if grown more slowly in the lawn it often reaches 

 a large size, when it becomes a most beautiful object. 



Cut-leaved Sumac (R. glabra, var. laciniata). This 

 is a cut-leaved form of our native smooth sumac. It takes
