 somewhat darker foliage. It seems to blossom almost as profusely in 

 the shade as in full sunlight. It is found very acceptable, therefore, for 

 planting along the north side of buildings or in other partly shaded 

 situations. 



Of the many other shrubs worthy of consideration, there are the golden 

 bells or Forsythias, whose yellow blossoms are produced even before its 

 leaves in the spring, so early in fact that the flowers are often caught by 

 late freezes; also the yellow flowering currant, Ribes aureum, with its 

 sweet fragrant blossoms, and the Japanese Rose, Rosa rugosa, with its 

 luxuriant foliage and ever-blooming flowers. There is no trouble about 

 having enough kinds to select from but the difficulty is in limiting the 

 list to the ones that are best. For the home garden maker, it will be 

 wise to stick largely to the old standard sorts.
