The Dogwoods are well known, and Cornus florida need not be described 

 or advocated. Not so widely planted is Cornus paniculata, with its pre 

 fusion of ivory white berries in late summer. 



The Viburnums are an interesting genus, containing numerous native 

 species. Probably the best known is the High-Bush Cranberry (Viburnum 

 opulus), producing scarlet fruit in August that lasts through the greater 

 part of winter. 



The Bush Honeysuckles are noteworthy, the most familiar being 

 Lonicera tatarica. This is not the best species, as it lacks the gracefulness of 

 Lonicera Morrowi, which has both red- and yellow-fruited forms. 



Admirable for border, screen, or wood planting is the Spice Bush 

 (Benzoin) with dark red berries. 



The Chinese Beauty Fruit (Callicarpa purpurea) is a shrub well worth 

 mention. The lilac-violet fruits, borne in dense clusters all along the .stem, 

 persist into the winter. 



In late summer the Snowberry (Symphoricarpos racemosus) covers 

 itself with pure white pearls of fruit. 



The Japanese Winterberry (Ilex serrata) stands preeminent for its 

 display of bright red Holly-like berries which thickly crowd every twig 

 and remain until late fall. 



There are numerous other deciduous and evergreen shrubs which are 

 beautiful in the winter landscape. Among these are the Japanese Hollies 

 (Ilex crenata), Chokeberry (Aroma arbutifolia), Inkberry (Ilex glabra), 

 Cotoneasters, Elaeagnus, Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), White Kerria 

 (Rhodotypos kerrioides), RegeFs Privet, Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium 

 corymbosum), and Candleberry (Myrica cerifera). 



Where landscape operations are contemplated, the services of a land' 

 scape architect should be engaged. Knowing members of the profession 

 in many localities, we are able to put you in touch with them, and they 

 can solve your problems with s\ill and good taste.
