ment, screen or shelter. = -

-equal, It is dwarf and compact yet very grace- 
ful. The branches grow thickly from the base 
of the plant, and always produce an abundance 
of foliage to the very bottom. The leaves are 
small and light green, assuming towards fall 
very brilliant and beautiful autumn hues, lasting for several weeks. It bears in early summer a profusion of small flow- 
ers, Succeeded by small oval berries which in fall turn to a bright red, and are retained on the plant nearly all winter.
