AMERICA’S MOST BEAUTIFUL NATIVE SHRUBS 
Were they better known the following two shrubs would be used to a far 
greater extent. 
HIGH BUSH BLUEBERRY 
(Vaccinium corymbosum ) 
Perhaps you think of Blue¬ 
berries as being grown only for 
the fruits, but have you ever 
seen the fresh green foliage in 
the spring, or the scarlet leaves 
in the fall? The red bark of 
the new growth will give color 
to your garden even in winter. 
Edible fruits are borne the lat¬ 
ter part of August. 
Surely this is a year round plant.

DROOPING 
LEUCOTHOE 
(Leucothoe catesbaei ) 
This is an unusual plant. 
Leathery, green leaves which 
turn to a deep bronze with the 
approach of winter, revert 
again in the spring to green. 
White flowers appear in May 
along the drooping stems. Since 
it is a fast grower, sprays can be 
cut for inside winter decora¬ 
tions. It will add an unusual 
note to your planting.
