Rhus. Sumac and 

 Mist Tree 



The old-fashioned Mist Tree, or 

 Smoke Bush (Rhus Cotinus) is 

 familiar on many old-time lawns; 

 but the Sumacs, until lately have 

 not been extensively used. They 

 are splendid subjects for mass 

 plantings and natural effects, be- 

 cause they are hardy, strong growers 

 and possessed of beautiful foliage. 

 The leaves of the cut-leaved sorts 

 are as delicate as ferns. In Autumn 

 they all turn most gorgeous colors.
