Japanese Snowball 



var. plica turn. Japanese Snowball. (S). 

 May. One of the best ornamental shrubs, similar 

 in habit to the preceding. It bears abundant white 

 balls of bloom that have a beautiful setting in the 

 deep green leaves. When a single specimen is 

 wanted there is nothing more attractive. It is just 

 as effective, however, in groups or the shrubbery 

 border. See illustration below.

Japanese Snowball. (Viburnum Plicatum.) The 

 flowers and foliage excel those of the old-fashioned Snow- 

 ball. Both varieties, however, are worthy of a prominent 

 part in the decoration of any lawn. 



Plant some of these (Xanthoceras sorbifolia) and have a 

 shrub that is rare and attractive. Described 

 at foot of column. 



Vitex 



Vitex Agnus-Castus. Chaste Tree. (L). A 

 large shrub of rapid growth. The leaves are deeply 

 cut and very ornamental. Flowers come in the 

 Summer and are produced in terminal panicle 

 racemes that are usually 5 to 7 inches long. Some are 

 blue, others white. Not reliably hardy north of New 

 York City.

Xanthorrhiza 



Xanthorrhiza apifolia. Yellow Root. (VD). 

 A good plant for damp and shady places; planted 

 much as an undergrowth on account of its bright 

 green foliage which turns a rich yellow in Autumn. 

 Flowers small, deep purple; borne in April.

Xanthoceras 



Xanthoceras sorbifolia. (L). Although it has 

 been several years since this shrub was introduced for 

 ornamental planting it is still quite rare. A hand- 

 some shrub of upright growth that is especially well 

 suited for individual or group planting. The com- 

 pound leaves resemble somewhat those of the Moun- 

 tain Ash. In May there are large clusters of white 

 flowers. The base of the petals of each individual 

 flower is blotched with red or yellow. Seed pods 

 which follow are quite large and are similar to those 

 of the Buckeye. See illustration above.
