CHAPTER XVI 



TREES AND SHRUBS WITH HANDSOME FRUITS. 



IN gardens attached to houses visited usually, or perhaps only, in the 

 autumn, this group of trees and shrubs possesses a special value. After 

 July very few shrubs are to be had in flower, and the fine-fruited kinds 

 provide a useful element of colour in the dull time that comes between 

 the season of late flower and that of autumn colour. It is also a point 

 in the planting of the parks and gardens of pleasure resorts whose "season" 

 is from July to September that might be given more consideration than 

 at present it receives. The following list may be useful as indicating 

 the most striking of this class ; they are all fully described in the 

 body of the work, but the asterisk may be taken as a guide for the,
