Abclia flowers over a long period as well as carrying its 

 foliage quite late in the season. It makes a handsome 

 specimen shrub 



more hardy. The upright growing branches 

 are very dense and about four feet high, the 

 stems and foliage are both of a deep green 

 color. Cytisus capitatus retains its soft pale 

 green foliage also quite late in the season 

 and fails to change color before falling. 



In a sheltered position Abelia grandiflora 

 is a delightful plant, it is a small shrub of a 

 slender spreading habit remaining in flower 

 for several weeks during September and 

 October, and the small foliage of a deep 

 shining green keeps on the bushes till late 

 in the year. 



For a rockery Hypericum Buckleyi is a 

 gem. This is a low-growing shrub, about 

 eighteen inches high, of a spreading nature 

 and with erect branches, each one of which 

 is terminated with small yellow flowers during 

 the summer, making a clump look like a bed 

 of gold. The foliage is small, stays on very 

 late and is now of a gray green color. 



Berberis Wilsoniae is becoming fairly well 



known now and is also a suitable plant for a 

 rockery, being a small bush with spreading 

 and arching branches. The foliage is small, 

 produced in great abundance and of a gray- 

 green color, of a semi-evergreen nature, this 

 turns to a lovely reddish-brown before falling 

 off. The fruit is small, round, and of a bright 

 salmon red color. Very similar to the above 

 and answering practically the same description 

 is Berberis Wilsoniae var. Stapfiana. The 

 thorns as with the preceding are sharp and 

 needle-like and longer than the foliage. 



Berberis aggregata is a tall erect branched 

 shrub about 5 ft. high, with small foliage 

 remotely serrate toward the apex, turning 

 to a pleasing reddish-brown in the fall, and is 



Clematis paniculata, a vigorous climber, thrives best in 

 sunny situations. Will stand severe pruning in winter 



Evonymus Hamiltonianus semiperistens, a small shrub 

 which retains its leaves nearly till Christmas. The fruits 

 while numerous are not decorative 



held on very late in the year. This flowers 

 the same time as the previous variety and 

 has very similar flowers. 



Among climbers the well known Akebia 

 quinata needs no describing. This plant 

 fruits here every year, and this year two 

 fruits were found on one fruit stalk. Akebia 

 lobata, which has its leaves in threes, should 

 be more generally seen on arbors and trellises. 

 The native Smilax hispida is suitable for 

 the same purpose and retains its foliage very 

 late. 



Clematis paniculata is common to every- 

 body, but Clematis dioscoraefolia is well 

 worthy of being more known. In many 

 respects it resembles the former but the 

 foliage is thicker. The flowers are pure white 

 and fragrant and the sepals are broader than 

 those in C. paniculata, and it makes a good 

 succession to that variety as it does not open 

 its flowers till those of the former have passed 

 away. 



Dwarf form of the popular Cranberry Bush shares with the type many splendid qualities. 

 The foliage becomes richly colored in the late season 



This vine, Akebia quinata, is well known, and is usually trained over a trellis. The sug- 

 gestion here conveyed will also fit other vines
