Spirea Van Houttei; Van Houtte’s Bridal Wreath 
A fountain of white in late April and May, its arching 
branches covered with clusters of small flowers; the graceful 
drooping habit and neat dense foliage, % to 1 % in. long, make 
it attractive throughout the season; excellent for grouping, as 
a background for lower shrubs, a foreground for taller shrubs, 
a screen, or as a specimen plant. Each spring, after blooming,

Sumac, Fragrant; Rhus canadensis; Rhus aromatica 
This shrub, so called because the leaves are aromatically 
fragrant when bruised, is so different in habit and foliage from 
the better known Sumacs few would recognize it as a Sumac. 
The leaflets are in 3’s, 2 to 4 in. long, in autumn orange or 
scarlet. While its spikes of small yellowish flowers are not 
showy, they are followed by hairy red berries in latter June and 
July. It makes a dense, low-spreading bush usually 3 to 4 ft. 
high, well supplied with foliage to the ground.

Sumac, Staghorn; Rhus typhina 
This sumac gets it name from the fancied resemblance of its 
thick blunted shoots, covered with velvety hair, to the horns 
of a stag. Leaflets 11 to 31 on a stem, dark green, in autumn 
gorgeous crimson, orange and scarlet. Valuable for its autumn 
display where a tall shrub may be used.

Syringa, see Lilac 
Mock Orange is also sometimes called Syringa. 
Tamarix; Tamarisk 
While grown mainly for their delicate, feathery foliage, in 
general effect much like Asparagus, the very small pink flowers 
also make quite a display. Prune severely each spring to main¬ 
tain a continuous supply of new wood and keep the plant 
bushy. It attains a height of 8 to 15 feet, and lower growing 
shrubs should be planted in front.

Vitex machrophylla; New Chaste Tree 
Its long spikes of small, rather deep lavender blue flowers at 
the ends of the branches in July and at intervals till fall, some¬ 
what resemble those of the Butterfly Bush. It makes a distinc¬ 
tive, rather large shrub of graceful, open airy habit, with 5- 
fingered leaves, dark green above, grayish beneath, with an 
aromatic pungent odor. Not yet in general use, but desirable in 
the shrub border for contrast.

the size of a pea, first green then white becoming a bright red 
and changing to almost black. Leaves 2 to 3 in. long, some¬ 
what heart-shaped. The leaves, stalks and buds are so downy it 
is sometimes known as cotton tree. Ordinarily grows 10 to 15 
ft. high.

Make your dream home 
come true. Some trees for a 
background and at the ends 
to frame the building, a few 
shrubs or evergreens as a 
foundation planting and at 
the corners for accent, will 
add wonderfully to the beau¬ 
ty of your home. Write our 
landscape department for 
particulars. Or drive to Sar- 
coxie and talk it over. We 
are prepared to render a 
complete service, from draw¬ 
ing the plans to furnishing 
and planting the trees and 
shrubs. You can depend
