IN THE FRONT YARD 75 



ing this kind has been this : They grow in Europe and 

 in some of the eastern states and for a long time I 

 was disappointed in them for they were not hardy; 

 but, securing them from the north^ they were all right. 

 I never saw a finer collection than Professor Green has 

 at St. Anthony Park. He went into the woods and 

 secured the most prolific he could find, and propagated 

 from these, and they were very attractive. There 

 were great clusters of bright red berries hanging on 

 the bushes wherever there was a chance; in some 

 cases bending down the branches and making the 

 little trees graceful weepers. They do better shaded 

 from the sun, and will do best on the north side of a 

 grove. The Sterilis is a variation from this species. 

 They are alike in foliage and the habit of growth is much

 as exceedingly beautiful. You have blossoms in the 

 spring, and the whole bush in the fall is a splendid 

 bouquet, with its glowing red, and the foliage of both 

 species in the fall has the richest of tints, making a 

 combination of effects which cannot but be appreciated. 

 You secure these by sowing the seeds and letting them 

 remain two winters. Or buy the bushes ready grown. 



Viburnum Cassinoides has branches covered with 

 white flowers in June, followed by black berries in the 

 fall. 



Dentatum or Dentated Leafed Viburnum proves to 

 be very hardy in I^ebraska, and I presume will be all 

 over the IsTorthwest. The leaves of deep green are 

 large, dented, wrinkled and corrugated, making them
