SHRUB JOTTINGS. 



Calycanthus floridus, better known per- 

 haps under its common names of sweet 

 shrub and Carolina allspice, is not near- 

 ly 60 much grown as it ought to be. It 

 is true that in exceptionally severe win- 

 ters, such as we had in 1903 and 1904, 

 it is cut down in the more northern 

 states, but it starts from the bottom 

 with such vigor that it soon makes a 

 presentable shrub again. While not suit- 

 able for massing effects, or even pro- 

 miscuous planting, this is a good shrub 

 to use. It makes a nice individual shrub 

 on the lawn. Its foliage is fine and 

 glossy, but its great charm lies in the 

 pineapple-scented, chocolate-colored flow- 

 ers, which this year opened June 10, 

 and last for several weeks in good con- 

 dition. This shrub rarely exceeds six 

 feet in height and succeeds well either 

 in sunshine or partial shade. 



Deutzia crenata candidissima is a splen- 

 did shrub, which comes into flower when 

 the syringas are on the wane. During 

 severe winters it is sometimes killed back 

 severely, but it soon recovers from this 

 and' for shrubbery use or as an indi- 

 vidual lawn specimen it is excellent. It 

 is also well adapted for cutting, and the 

 double, pure white flowers are serviceable 

 for design work. In fact, any florist 

 doing a retail trade should certainly 

 have one or two plants in his shrubbery. 

 This variety is of erect and more vig- 

 orous habit than Lemoinei or gracilis, at- 

 taining a height of eight to ten feet. 

 It will thrive well in any good garden 

 soil. The variety Pride of Rochester is
