Fragrant brown flowers. You remember carry¬ 
ing the sweet-scented buds in your handker¬ 
chief when a child. A shrub 5 feet high will 
flower in June. Plant in masses at the border of 
the shrubbery, for they will hold the mulch. Each

CEPHALANTHUS occidentalis. Button Bush. 
Although this will grow in fresh water a foot 
deep, it likes dry upland better. It makes a 
round bush, 6 feet high, with heavy, glossy 
foliage, decorated in July with clusters of white 
balls an inch or more in diameter.

CLETHRA alnifolia. Summer-sweet. Passing over 
damp ground in June and July, you have proba¬ 
bly noted a distinct, honey-like perfume and 
traced it to the Clethra, with its finger-shaped 
spikes of white flowers. It is a shrub growing 
about 8 feet high which thrives well on the 
upland.

CORNUS mas. Cornelian Cherry. A week or two 
before the Forsythia, or Golden Bell, this is a 
mass of bright yellow, like the spicewood of the 
swamps; in August it looks like the tree cran¬ 
berry. The fruits have been used for jam and to 
make an acid drink. You can use this plant in 
your shrubbery or among your collection of 
small trees, for it grows ultimately 15 feet high.
