Beautiful Flowering Shrubs 



shade of trees, though of course it prefers an open 

 situation on good soil to be at its very best. In the 

 shade it is apt to get a little straggling and does not 

 produce berries so freely. Shrubs of both sexes should 

 be planted in proximity, a single male shrub sufficing 

 to fertilise several berry-bearing shrubs. In the gay 

 little pot plants thickly covered with big shining scarlet 

 berries the fertilisation has always been done by hand. 

 Cuttings or small branches stuck into the ground will 

 root with great facility, as already pointed out, or the 

 shrub can be raised from seed.
