Detail of flower and 

 foliage are given to- 

 gether with the 

 beautiful effect 



which this native shrub presents as we see it growing 

 along the country roadside. A splendid Summer flower- 

 ing shrub for natural landscapes. 



Sambucus: Elder 



Shrubs of strong growth and easy cultivation, 

 that are ornamental in flower, fruit and foliage. 

 Excellent for masses; desirable for wild effects and 

 valuable for shaded places. 



Sambucus canadensis. Common Elder. (M). 

 White flowers borne in large, flat panicles followed by 

 edible black berries. Its principal value for orna- 

 mental planting lies in its ability to grow in wet soil, 

 where it quickly produces splendid natural effects.

Ribes : Flowering Currants 



Good, hardy plants, prized for their wealth of 

 fragrant, small bright flowers in early Spring. In 

 many country door yards these sturdy currants are 

 found growing under the hardships of impoverished 

 soil and neglect, which more tended plants succumb 

 to. They flower very early; are tolerant of partial 

 shade. 



Ribes aureum. Missouri Golden or Buffalo 

 Currant. (S). In May it bears quantities of 

 golden yellow flowers. The leaves are three lobed 

 and of a dark, lustrous green color. Very effective 

 when used in groups as part of a mixed shrubbery 

 border.
