 having an individuality of its own. It is particularly orna- 

 mental and interesting on account of its curious corky bark. 

 The small yellow flowers of the spring are followed by attractive 

 red berries in the fall. It is also valuable on account of its 

 bright scarlet autumn foliage which makes it very conspicuous 

 in the fall. Strong plants, 75c each.

 autumn and winter is loaded with scarlet seed-pods from which 

 orange colored berries hang on slender threads. 75c each.
