foliage in summer, and red berries in the fall. It is hardy and will 

 make a vigorous growth on rich, moist land. 



Honeysuckle, Tartarian, (Lonicera Tatarica). This shrub 

 grows to a height of 10 feet. The flowers are pink, crimson, or white. 

 The fruits are mostly red, though some bear yellow fruits. It is a 

 native of Russia and Siberia and has proved hardy at this station. 



Lilac, Purple, (Syringa vulgaris var. purpurea). Though this 

 plant is common in nearly all parts of the State it is none the less 

 desirable for planting as its beautiful, fragrant flowers,dense foliage, 

 readiness of growth, and variable habits make it well suited for 

 shrubberies, ornamental hedges, or specimen plants. 



Lilac, White, (S. vulgaris var. alba). This variety should 

 become more prominent as the white flowers make a pleasing con- 

 trast with the purple lilac. It is as hardy as the latter and blossoms 

 profusely. 



Pea Tree (Caragana frutescens) grows 5 to 6 feet high and 

 bears yellow flowers in late spring or early summer. It is hardy at 

 Rozeman. 



Pea Tree, Siberian, (C. arborescens) grows 12 to 20 feet high 

 and is entirely hardy. The flowers are pea-like in form, yellow in 

 color, and produced in great abundance in late spring or early sum- 

 mer. The bark of the young wood is bright green. 



Rose, Harrison's Yellow, (Rosa heinisphearica var. Harisoni) 

 grows to a height of 6 feet or more. It is very hardy and bears 

 bright yellow, double flowers in late spring or early summer. 



Rose (Rosa rugosa) . There are two Russian types and a Japan- 

 ese type. The former are considered hardier than the latter and are 

 recommended for planting. So far we have tested only the Japanese 

 type at Bozeman, where it has proved hardy. It grows from 4 to 

 6 feet high. The leaves are a very dark, glossy green. The flowers, 

 single or semi-double, range from red to white and are two to three 

 and one-half inches across. It is valuable for shrubberies or single 

 specimens. 



Sea Buckthorn. See under Buckthorn. 



Service Berry, Western, (Amelancliier alnifolia) is native to 

 Montana, hardy, and desirable for shrubberies. It is valued for its
