Winged Euonjmius 

 A very attractive shrub for hedges (Acanthopanax shown at right) 



Euoni/mus alatus. Winged Eroxvsirs. A fine hardy shrub from the 

 Orient which is especially adapted to New England conditions. Growth up- 

 right, branching, twigs with interesting corky ridges, foliage bright green, 

 always clean and healthy, flowers and fruits inconsjticuous. Hedge set in 1924, 

 now 6 years old, has been closely sheared to height of 2 feet I inches and 

 spread of 2 feet 6 inches and has tlirived under this drastic pruning. It is 

 plainly one of the best deciduous hedges in the experiment. The winged 

 enonyiiius may be cordially recommended for hedge planting. 



Presiuiiably other sj)ecies of the same genus would be wortliy (»f trial, 

 e. g., E. (uiierlrauus. E. europaeufi. and E. nanus.
