SPRINGSCENT— (Fothergilla major) 
In order to create a greater interest in this worthwhile 
hardy shrub the Arnold Arboretum prepared a special 
bulletin (Dec. 29, 1933) and from which we give the 
description. 
“The creamy-white flowers 
are borne in Spring, just as the 
leaves are unfolding. They are 
massed in tight little plumes at 
the ends of short, upright 
branches, each little plume being 
made up of many individual 
flowers, whose long, milk-white 
stamens are their most con¬ 
spicuous feature. During the 
summer Fothergillas are surprisingly similar to their 
cousins, the Witch-hazels. As Autumn comes on, they 
again show their individuality by coloring most bril¬ 
liantly—some pure yellow, others deeply overlaid with brilliant 
crimson. ” 
Springscent can be grown in any good garden soil, but ap¬ 
plications of peat and sand are beneficial.

FRAGRANT MAY-BUSH 
(Viburnum carlesi) 
The rare and unexpected clove-like fra¬ 
grance of this “Carles’ Jewel” permeates the 
garden during late May and June. A rich 
pink in the bud, the flowers are pure white 
when fully open, and waxy in texture. This 
is a real aristocrat which will never be 
“cheap”. A shrub of broad, round habit, 
growing slowly to 4 or 5 ft.; likes the sun and 
soil not too dry. Our plants carry many 
bloom buds and heavy, fibrous root systems 
(ball of earth 25c extra if desired).
