WINTER COLOR IN BARK AND FRUIT 



An attractive appearance may be given to home grounds 

 in the dull winter season by means of a choice of shrubs 

 and decorative trees having blossom and foliage that are 

 equally desirable in the summer. The fruits of scarlet, 

 orange, white, gray, blue, or purplish tints give life to 

 leafless shrubbery and invite the birds and the squirrels. 

 The colors of bark and twigs when the sap is rising show 

 marked differences which lend beauty to a landscape when 

 the earth is bare or when snowdrifts are heaped around. 

 Each of the following shrubs and trees has its special color 

 note for winter.
