Early Flowering Shrubs. 
The pushing flower buds remind us of 
he season, and direct our attention to the 
immediate wants of the plants. As the 
days lengthen the amateur finds there is 
plenty to do. He is filled with deter¬ 
mination that the results of his garden¬ 
ing operations shall, if possible, excel 
those of the previous yeqr. He- 4 ooks with 
pride on the well trained Jasmine, 
smothered in flower, on the house. 
Cydonias and Forsythias will soon be in 
flower. The sweet scented Honeysuckle, 
(Lonicera fragrantissima, has been out 
some time. The flowering Currants and 
Laurustinus are useful shrubs for the 
. ilia garden. The beautiful Erica carnea 
is still in flower. Hamamelis are seldom 
seen in suburban gardens. Where 
planted, they seem to stand out from all 
others in the garden, with their masses of 
golden bloom. 
Garrya elliptica, with its graceful 
catkins, forms a very useful evergreen, 
adaptable for covering a wall or for plant¬ 
ing in the open. A plant greatly sought 
ifter for small gardens is Daphne 
Uezereum ; it not only flowers profusely, 
rut is sweetly scented. Wistaria multi- 
uga, which flowers towards the beginning 
if summer, should be trained on the house 
f the aspect be suitable. It requires a 
sunny position and protection from cold, 
rutting winds. In outlying districts Mag- 
mlias and Rhododendrons look very well 
is specimens on lawns in the front garden.
