FLOWERING TREES AND SHRUBS 25 



C. sasanqua. — Japan. A fragile shrub that wants the 

 protection of a wall. There are two varieties, one bearing 

 double white and the other single red flowers in the richest 

 abundance. 



Caprifolium. See Lonicera. 



Caragana (Leguminosae). 



Caeagana altagana. — Dahuria, 1789. A shrub about 

 a yard high, with six to eight pairs of glabrous, obovate 

 leaves and yellow flowers, produced from April to July. 

 y C. arboeescens. — Siberian Pea Tree. Siberia, 1752. 

 On account of its great hardiness, this is a very desirable 

 garden shrub or small-growing tree. The bright-yellow, 

 pea-shaped flowers are very attractive, while the deep- 

 green, pinnate foliage imparts to the tree a somewhat 

 unusual but taking appearance. Soil would not seem to 

 be of much moment in the cultivation of this, or, indeed, 

 the other species of Caragana, for it thrives well either on 

 dry, sunny banks, where the soil is light and thin, or in 

 good, stiff, yellow loam. C. arborescens pendula (1887) 

 only differs in having the branches pendulous. 



C. eectescens. — Siberia, 1752. Flowers in May, and 

 is of partially upright habit; while C. Chamlag, from 

 China, 1773, has greenish-yellow flowers, faintly tinted with 

 pinky-purple. 



C. Spinosa. — Siberia, 1775. This, as the name indi- 

 cates, is of spiny growth, and is a beautiful and distinct 

 member of the family, with yellow flowers produced in 

 April and May. They are all hardy, and readily pro- 

 pagated from seed. 



Cardiandra (Saxifrageae). 



Caediandea alteenifolia. — Japan, 1866. With its neat 

 habit, and pretty purple-and-white, plentifully-produced
