WINTER PLANTING EFFECTS 
{Continued from p. 427^ 
and is especially valuable; Salix pur- 
purea, the purple osier, gives us a 
chance to introduce a purple hue into 
the Winter landscape, which in the 
distance is particularly enchanting; 
Salix palmasfolia has also purple 
branches and is very useful. As a 
purple branched shrub, Berberis vul- 
garis purpurea, the purple leaved bar- 
berry, is often used in small planta- 
tions. 
For gray effects in stem and twig 
coloration, we can resort to the sea 
buckthorn (Hippoph® rhamnoides) 
and to one of the oleasters (Elaeagnus 
argentea). Effects in gray are some- 
times very desirable in the Winter 
landscape picture. For effects in green 
branches, we have the grass green 
stems of Kerria Japonica and the 
green stemmed variety of the red dog- 
wood (Cornus sanguinea viridissima) 
and the golden bell (Forsythia viridis- 
sima). 
We look to the coral berry (Sym- 
phoricarpus vulgaris) for a magenta 
shade. For soft brown shades we 
have ample opportunity to select from 
a long list, such as Stephanandra flex- 
uosa. Spiraea callosa, the golden bell 
(Forsythia suspensa), the tree of heav- 
en (Ailanthus glandulosa), Cratsgus 
crenata and many others. 
Many fail to notice the beautiful 
soft effects that can be obtained by 
mass planting of the brown stemmed 
shrubs and trees, but it is particularly 
agreeable during the months of Jan- 
uary and February to see a mass of 
brown stems as a relief from the 
blinding glare of the sun on the snow. 
It is then that we value the brown 
stemmed shrubs along with the osiers 
and dogwoods. 
In order to secure exceedingly good 
effects in stem coloration, it is well to 
remember that the highest color is 
produced in the growth of the cur- 
rent year and in order to secure this 
growth we must not be afraid to 
prune heavily in the Spring, so as not 
to destroy the effect in Winter; this is 
particularly true of the willows, dog- 
woods and kerrias. 
All planting should be done to a 
definite purpose. If it is for a place 
that is to be occupied throughout the 
entire year, we should not fail to make 
ample provision for the effect which 
we can produce in the Winter. If 
successfully planned, such a planting 
would be a work of art, which would 
not only appeal to every artistic eye 
but would at the same time serve as 
an education to the people.
