CLIBRANS’ LIST OF FLOWERING SHRUBS, 1909-10. 
EVERGREEN, DECIDUOUS AND FLOWERING SHRUBS— continued. 
BAMBOOS, including Arundinaria and Phyllostachys. The Bamboos are graceful, elegant,

and are eminently adapted for growing on the margins of streams and in moist boggy

with cow manure till thoroughly established. With suitable backgrounds these beauti- 
ful plants are capable of producing glorious effects.
