Ornamental Fruits of July 
The second of a series on ‘‘ Ornamental 
Fruits for Every Month,” by the author of most 
of the articles on trees and shrubs in the “Cy- 
clopedia of American Horticulture.” 
OST shrubbery borders are rather 
uninteresting in July because there 
are few flowers in them then. But they 
could be made most interesting by using 
some of the following bushes which have 
showy berries in July. 
Many of the bush honeysuckles begin to 
ripen their fruits in July, e.g., the well- 
known Tartarian honeysuckle with its red 
or yellow berries in peduncled pairs along 
the branches; Lonicera Ruprechtiana with 
dark red berries and L. Morrowit with berries 
of similar color and grayish green foliage. 
The last is one of the handsomest in fruit 
and keeps its foliage longer than the others. 
The hybrids between these species, of which 
there are a number in cultivation, are equally 
handsome in flower and fruit. 
The berries of L. chrysantha are of a par- 
ticularly bright cherry red, and ripen early, 
while the similar L. Xvlosteum has dark 
cherry-red berries. The fruits of all these 
species begin to shrivel in September and 
disappear gradually, but L. Xylostewm and 
L. Morrowii hold their fruits somewhat 
longer. Of striking appearance is L. Lede- 
bourii with its purplish black berries sur- 
rounded by large purple bracts. Also 
Lonicera alpigena with bright scarlet berries 
is very handsome. About the beginning 
of September, Lonicera berica ripens its 
shining bright orange-red berries which are 
borne at the end of the branchlets and stand 
out conspicuously from the grayish green 
foliage of the roundish, densely branched 
shrub and remain until the frost sets in. 
The foliage keeps fresh and green until late 
in October or the beginning of November. 
Among the climbing honeysuckles the 
most conspicuous in fruit is the Lonicera 
Sullivantit with large clusters of scarlet or 
bright orange-red berries at the end of the 
branches, which persist until November. 
An extremely handsome shrub in fruit is’ 
the red-berried elder or mountain elder 
(Sambucus racemosa or S. pubens), with its 
great clusters of brilliant coral red berries 
along the branches, which last from the middle 
of July through August if not carried away 
by the birds. It is a spreading shrub with 
stout branches growing to a height of three 
to ten feet; and doing well in soil that is net 
too wet. The habit and the large pinnate 
leaves give the plant a somewhat coarse 
look, and as the foliage often becomes 
unsightly in late summer it is not a shrub 
for the more trimly kept parts of the garden. 
A handsome Japanese shrub is Eleagnus 
longipes which ripens its brownish-red, 
oblong berries at the beginning of July. 
These hang on slender stalks from the 
spreading branches and remain for some 
time on the branches, if not eaten by the 
birds or by the small boy, for they are of 
agreeable sub-acid flavor. The shrub rarely 
exceeds six feet and prefers a sunny situation 
with a well-drained soil. 
A handsome low-spreading shrub is Cor-
