TREES AND SHRUBS 



Fendli 



Fendlerella utahensis is a low shrub, generally less than 2 

 feet high, with very small leaves and small white flowers in 

 terminal clusters an inch or so in diameter. As a low shrub 

 comparable to some of the small cultivated varieties of spireas 

 commonly found in our gardens it would be worth cultivation. 



The Mock Orange (Plriladelphus spp.) is represented in 

 New Mexico by four species; all of which would seem to be 

 worth cultivation. Two or three of them would probably 

 stand the heat and dry atmosphere of the lower valleys, though 

 we have not tried them.
