CHIEF SHRUBS FOR STEM COLOURING 25 



A small New Zealand shrub, Corokia Cotoneaster^ with 

 minute leaves and stems that are whitish in the young 

 state and dark when older, is effective grouped in small 

 beds, but is at present scarce. 



Another New Zealand shrub, Cassinia fulvida^ has 

 effective golden tinted shoots and leaves, and, like the 

 Corokia^ requires full sunlight and a porous soil. 



Aralia chinensis elata {Dimorphanthus mandschuricus) is 

 remarkable in its leafless condition, the thorny growths, 

 when the plant is freely grouped, as it is here, being 

 quite grotesque.
