A Japanese Spindle Tree 



THE Japanese winged euonymus {Ettonymus 

 alalus) is a spreading symmetrical shrub 

 native to Japan and Manchuria. In cultivation, 

 it grows from six to eight feet high, and develops 

 a corresponding spread. The branches are numer- 

 ous and dense, and carry excrescences in the form 

 of corky plates, which make the stems appear 

 four-angled, and distinguishes this particular 

 species from the other members of the group. 

 The foliage is neat in appearance, and of good 

 color. In the autumn, it is especially fine, as 

 it assumes a beautiful rose tint peculiarly its own. 

 The flowers appear before those of the other 

 spindle trees and possess little ornamental value. 



This liardy and vigorous shrub does v\ell in any 

 good garden soil 



They are yellowish green in color, usually borne 

 in three-flowered clusters and are partially con- 

 cealed by the leaves. The fruit which foUows is 

 small, is supported by stout stalks, and reaches 

 maturity the middle or last of September. The 

 pod is purplish and the aril covering the seed is 

 bright scarlet. While good in itself the fruit 

 does not make a display because it is small and 

 partially hidden by the foliage. The shrub is 

 perfectly hardy, vigorous and does well in any good 

 garden soil. 



The features which make this plant desirable 

 are neatness of habit and goodness of foliage. 

 In summer the foliage possesses a certain richness, 

 while in autumn its brilliant coloring is delightful. 



Massachusetts. Daniel A. Clarke. 



Fragrant Foliage 



Do YOU love to brush against fragrant foli- 

 age? We can think of only three shrubs 

 that have it — candleberry, aromatic sumac, and 

 sweet fern. Candleberry or bayberry (Myrica 

 cerifera) is in spring a sight for gods and men. It 

 generally holds its foliage through November, or 

 a rnonth later than other deciduous shrubs and 

 is rich in bronze and wine-colored tones. H. M.
