sumac are prominent in "sunset gardens." Corrms 

 rugosa is a magnificent species, but must have shade. 

 Although hazel (Corylus) may be considered "coarse" 

 in the East, its rugged character pleases the Middle 

 West and its autumn color is unique. Hamamelis vir- 

 giniana is very popular because its yellow foliage lights 

 up the autumn woods and because its stratified branches 

 carry the prairie spirit into the woodland. Sambucus 

 pubens, the red elder, will not thrive on clay or in full 

 sun; it wants shade and prefers sandy soil. Symphori-

carpos orbiculatus is commonly called "buckbush," and 

 is a familiar sight in pastures. Viburnum acerifolium is 

 useful for the shady side of the house. Viburnum 

 pubescens is the most floriferous of the viburnums and 

 formerly common near Chicago. Zanthoxylum ameri- 

 canum is almost as common in woodlots as buckbush; 

 the scent of the foliage generally pleases.

The following list of shrubs for the most part consists 

 of kinds known to be perfectly hardy and to succeed in 

 the region of St. Louis if planted with usual care and 

 subsequently given reasonably good treatment. Many 

 choice sorts which are not likely to be hardy much 

 north of central Missouri without some protection are 

 indicated by an asterisk (*). A few may not be generally 

 known to the trade and hence procured with some 

 difficulty at present but their value for this region was 

 demonstrated by being grown several years at the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden. Azalea and certain other 

 Ericaceae, together with some allied genera like Kalmia 

 that have formed attractive features in many planta- 

 tions, are not included because they are generally short- 

 lived and require more than ordinary care in planting 

 and subsequent handling.
