Deutzia 
D. Pride of Rochester. S'-9'. Pink Deutzia. Deservedly 
popular, this husky fellow produces clouds of tassel- 
223 like flowers in May which last for some weeks. The 
usual blush coloring sometimes deepens to a real pink. 
ELAEAGNUS angustifolia. 12'-15'. Russian-olive. 
As with the “Gumi” this big brother has gray green 
22If. leaves (but narrow) which covered with a silvery dust 
spreads ever to the small, encrusted orange berries. 
Indifferent to drought. 
ENKIANTHUS campanulatus. 12'-15\ Redvein 
Enkianthus. A handsome, large shrub. Bunches 
225 of nodding white (lowers streaked with red. A brilliant 
red in Fall. 
EUONYMUS alatus. 7'-8'. Winged Euonymus. A 
226 wonder for Fall coloring when the leaves turn rosy 
pink; the corky bark is also very attractive in Winter. 
See EVERGREEN SHRUBS for other EUONYMUS 
EXOCHORDA grandiflora. 8'-10'. Pearlbusb. During 
May the dazzling whiteness of the lovely frail- 
227 looking flowers always attract attention. Annual 
pruning improves. 
FORSYTHIA intermedia. 8'-9'. Border Golden Bell. 
Almost synonymous with April, and the long branches 
228 are useful for Winter forcing. This form has arching 
branches. 
F. suspensa. 6'-S'. Weeping Golden Bell. A very 
229 graceful plant covered with yellow flowers in April; 
a good wall plant. 
HALESIA tetraptera. 20'-25'. Great Silver Bell. 
During May a lovely thing indeed. Myriads of little 
230 pearly bells dangle from the reaching branches, to 
be followed by interesting brown winged seeds. Will 
yet come into its own. 
HAMAMELIS virginiana. 15'-25'. Witch-hazel. The 
fringv, light yellow flowers are conspicuous in Novem- 
231 ber, brightening our native woods. Splendid in mass 
when the rich yellow Autumn color is effective bor¬ 
dering swamps. 
HIBISCUS syriacus (Althaea). 10'-12'. Rose-qf Sharon. 
232 One of the last flowers to bloom; a very late grower, 
good for formal work. 
PRIVET 
LIGUSTRUM. 8'-9\ Ibota Privet. I lalf-evergrecn. 
238 Has spreading branches with good foliage. Bunches 
of black berries in Fall. 
L. regelianum. 4'-6\ True Spreading Regal Privet. 
Half-evergreen. Either as a hedge plant or for the 
239 shrubbery border, this is a good subject with low 
branches. 
L. ovalifolium. 10'-15'. California Privet. Half- 
240 evergreen. This is the ideal hedge plant. 
HONEYSUCKLE 
LONICERA fragrantissima. 6'-8'. Wi liter Honeysuckle. 
Half-evergreen. So-called because of persistent foliage 
241 and the early appearance of the deliciously fragrant 
flowers on bare branches in March. Red berries in 
Summer. 
L. japonica halliana. Vine, 20'-25\ Hall’s Japan 
Honeysuckle. Half-evergreen. Wherever planted this 
242 old favorite takes possession with its tropical luxuriant 
growth, whether as ground cover, trellis vine or bank 
planting, but the sweetly fragrant, handsome creamy 
flowers are best on a support. 
L. tatarica. 8'-10'. Tatarian Honeysuckle. Most 
adaptable old favorite. The best form has pink 
243 flowers in early June followed by a generous crop of 
scarlet fruits. 
MYRICA carolinensis. 5'-tV Northern Bayberry. Few 
things will grow in such poor, dry soil as this Bay- 
244 berry. The gray wax berries crowded on stiff branches 
last just as well when cut and dried for inside decora¬ 
tion as they do outside. Quickly acquires a look of age. 
Aromatic foliage. 
MOCKORANGE 
PHILADELPHUS coronarius. 8'-l O'. Mockorange 
Vigorous and long-lived this old-fashioned “Sweel 
245 Syringa” is often found planted near the door or 
windows of farmhouses where the delicious fragrance 
of its white flowers could be enjoyed in May and June. 
Endures some shade. 
Tennis and Badminton Courts Constructed LEWIS & VALENTINE 
HYDRANGEA arborescens grandiflora. 4'-5'. Snow 
Hill Hydrangea. The rather straggling habit is 
233 more than offset in July and August by the fine display 
of white flowers borne in large bunches. Prune 
severely for best results. Useful in shade. 
H. paniculata grandiflora. 8'-10'. Peegce. Almost 
everyone knows the great heads of white flowers 
234 that gradually turn pink when cut and dried for 
decoration. 
ILEX verticillata. S'-IO'. Common Winterberry. One 
of the few native shrubs that carries its bright red 
235 fruits practically throughout Winter. While generally 
found in swampy ground, it seems perfectly happy 
when high and dry. Plant in groups to insure a crop 
of berries—it’s a Holly ! 
See EVERGREEN SHRUBS for other ILEX 
KERRIA japonica florepleno. 4'-5\ Double Kerria or 
Globeflower. Green stems and rich golden flowers that 
236 in May resemble “button” Chrysanthemums combine 
to make this a most popular “old-fashioned” useful 
shrub. Nice for Winter color. 
LABURNUM vulgare. 20'-25'. Golden Chain. Golden 
yellow flowers hang from the green branches resem- 
23? bling a yellow Wisteria. Plant in a sheltered spot.

P. lemoinei. 4'-5'. Lemoine Mockorange. The sweet 
fragrance has been retained in this neat, compact 
246 hybrid. Needs practically no pruning, but remains 
within bounds indefinitely; the small leaves hidden 
by the flowers. 
P. virginalis. 7'-8'. Virginal Mockorange. This new 
247 variety has very large, double flowers and is very 
fragrant. 
RHAMNUS cathartica. 10'-12'. Common Buckthorn. 
248 Another good background shrub with glittering black 
berries. 
RHODOTYPOS kerrioides. 5'-6'. Jetbead. A compact, 
well-furnished shrub studded in May and June with 
249 four-petal flowers that are as intensely white as the 
beadlike fruits are glittering jet black. These persist 
all Winter. 
RHUS cotinus. 12'-15'. Smoketree. Until the filmy 
purplish cloud of fruit cluster becomes so noticeable 
250 in July we are apt to overlook the fine qualities of 
this handsome shrub. The clean, flat, round leaves are 
stained pink while young, then mature with yellow 
and purple tones in Fall. As a specimen few shrubs 
can equal its bold, rugged outline which is accen¬ 
tuated as the thick branches become gnarled with 
great age. These are fine, bushy plants.
