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 conspicuous 
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 brilliantly 
—some pure yellow, others deeply overlaid with brilliant crimson. ” 
Springscent can be grown in any good garden soil, but applications of peat and sand are 
beneficial.
