early in spring before the leaves appear.

hedges, and are bright-hued fillers for 
massed shrub groups. 
Portunei. Similar in bloom to the vari¬ 
ety Suspensa, but it is thicker, of up¬ 
right growth, and tallest of the group. 
Spectabilis. Broad, heavy flowers'. It is 
midway in bush character between the 
upright Fortunei and slender, drooping 
poise of Suspensa (See Color page E). 
Suspensa. Very long, slender, inicurving 
branches, adapted to arches and trel¬ 
lises, as well as foreground filling.

FRINGE 
Purple (Smoke Bush; Rhus cotinus). A 
conspicuous spreading shrub or small 
tree with large round leaves ; overhung 
in midsummer by mistlike clouds of tiny 
flowers. These billowing panicles are a 
light lavender when fresh, very persist¬ 
ent, and give the impression of smoke 
at a distance. 1^ to 2 ft., 90c. 
Wliite (Chionanthus virginica). A very 
showy shrub, growing to large size; 
with large leathery, shiny leaves, and 
lacelike white flowers borne in grace¬ 
fully drooping panicles. Although tree¬ 
like in character, the branches and 
heavy foliage are usually well furnished 
close to the ground, making a broad and 
rounded bush of noble proportions. 
1 y 2 to 2 ft., 60c. 2 to 3 ft., 75c. 
HAEESIA tetraptera (Silver Bell). A 
little tree or large shrub, with large, 
dark green leaves. In May while the 
leaves are yet small, its branches are 
hung thickly with white or pinkish 
drooping bells about an inch long, fol¬ 
lowed by large and curious winged 
seeds. This is really one of the most 
charming shrubs of the springtime, and 
should be more liberally planted.

ILEX verticillata (Winterberry). Small 
June flowers and darkly lustrous foli¬ 
age, with sparkling masses of crimson 
fruits in October, which last far into

fused with certain other Ilex which are 
broad-leaved evergreens. The leaves 
drop off for winter, revealing rather 
dense, slender stems, rather black.
