Eleagnus 



A famih- of ornamental shrubs 

 possessing many merits that com- 

 mend them for ornamental planting. 

 Perhaps best known by their deco- 

 rative fruits, although one of their 

 principal characteristics is the sil- 

 ver3- color of the twigs and under 

 surface of the leaves of many va- 

 rieties. This coloring is quite no- 

 ticeable and produces a pleasing 

 effect in contrast to the more sombre 

 hues of other shrubs. 



Eleagnus longipes; syn. edulis. 

 Japanese Oleaster or Silver 

 Thorn. (M). May. Silver leaves 

 marked with brown spots on under

Euonymus 



A large group of evergreen and deciduous shrubs 

 that show a wide diversity of character. For the 

 evergreen species, see chapter on "Evergreen 

 Shrubs," page 32, climbing species are listed under 

 " \'ines." 



Euonymus alatus. Cork-barked Euonymus. 

 (M). This shrub possesses a striking individuality 

 It is particularly ornamental and interesting on 

 account of its curious corky bark. The small, 

 delicate flowers of late Spring are followed by attrac- 

 tive red berries in the Fall. It is also valuable on 

 account of its Autumn foliage, which is scarlet and 

 favorably commented upon by almost everyone who 

 sees it. Best suited for group or individual plant- 

 ing; and as it is not particular as to soil there are 

 places on almost every lawn where it can be planted 

 to advantage. This year we offer a quantit}^ of 

 excellent stock. See picture opposite.
