Garden of Fragrance 
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 cream-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 suprisingly 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.

Bulletin of the Arnold Arboretum and which includes a fine engraved insert.
