b. Green Foliage. Some trees and shrubs are exceedingly inter- 

 esting in the landscape composition because of the varying and vivid 

 colours of their autumn foliage, ranging from brown or brownish yel- 

 low, through to vivid scarlet and bright red. There is another 

 group of shrubs which are not so valuable because of the autumn 

 colour of their foliage, but because of the fact that their foliage is 

 retained until extremely late in the fall, or possibly into the early 

 winter. Such shrubs as the privets, and many others shown in this 

 list, are very valuable in landscape plantations where the owner 

 cannot, because of climatic or soil conditions, resort to the use of 

 evergreens, and is still desirous of producing a foliage effect that will 

 serve as a background or a screen until late into October or early 

 November. Many of these shrubs are somewhat tender and the 

 fact that they do carry their leaves unchanged until late in the autumn 

 often shows that they are not able to mature their wood during a nor- 

 mal growing season. Since they often do not mature their leaves they 

 are also liable to go into the winter with tender wood. Many of the 

 shrubs given in this list should therefore not be planted in exposed 

 places.
