PLANTS WITH COLORED BARK 141 



TREES AND SHRUBS WITH DISTINCTIVE 

 COLORED BARK 



During the Winter when all deciduous trees and shrubs are devoid of foli- 

 age, any color in the garden is indeed a welcome addition. Some fine effects 

 can be obtained by using some of the following items. A most striking instance 

 is the planting of a mass of Siberian Dogwood with the yellow-stemmed 

 Willow or Dogwood; against a carpet of snow the effect is indeed worth the 

 effort. Another shrub of Winter interest is the Wing-bark Euonymus, with 

 its conspicuous corky ridges along the branches, and sometimes an occasional 

 cluster of orange and red fruit that the birds have overlooked.

PLANTS FOR WITHSTANDING CITY 

 CONDITIONS 



It must not be understood that any plants or trees prefer the adverse con- 

 ditions that are prevalent in large cities. Indeed it is only the most vigorous 

 and adaptable kinds that will live under these conditions, which include lack of 

 water, poor soil, and a prevalence of dust, smoke and injurious gases. With 

 these facts in mind it will at once be realized that any planting in the city must 

 be done carefully and thoroughly. Dig a large hole for every plant, supply the 

 best soil that can be obtained and some well rotted manure, and preserve every 

 root. The foliage can be washed off occasionally by playing a good force of 

 water over the plants; and be on the lookout for insects and diseases. In 

 short, everything that can be, should be done to overcome or mitigate the 

 adverse conditions under which the city planting must live.
