lOo TREES AND SHRUBS 



Osmanthus of sorts. Holly-like evergreen shrubs. 

 Philadelphus coronarius (Mock Orange). Though less showy 



than some others, this is decidedly the hardiest. 

 Phillyraea vilmoriniana. A valuable evergreen with deep-green, 



leathery leaves. 

 Pinus (Mountain Pine). This member of the Fir family is but 



a shrub in stature. It is at home in bleak spots. 

 Potentilla fruticosa (Shrubby Cinquefoil). A low shrub that 



produces its golden blossoms in July and August. 

 Rosa canina (Dog Rose) and Rosa rubiginosa (Sweetbriar) 



are general favourites. 

 Rubus (Bramble). The cut-leaved, the double white, and 



double pink are ornamental. 

 Spartium junceum (Spanish Broom). However bleak, this will 



produce its comparatively large pea-shaped blossoms 



throughout the summer. 

 Staphylea pinnata (Bladder Nut). The bladder-like seed-cap- 

 sules are striking in the autumn. 

 Symphoricarpus racemosus (Snowberry). Grows anywhere, 



and produces its large white berries in great profusion. 

 Viburnum Opulus (Guelder Rose). A pretty native shrub. 

 Ulex europaea (Common Furze). The double form of this 



is remarkably showy.
