Caragana Arborescens 
(Siberian Pea-Tree) 
This is a hardy tall growing shrub and will withstand 
more cold weather and dry soil conditions than most 
other hedge shrubs. It does especially well in the colder 
sections of the Northwest. In spring the gray^green 
color of the foliage is very effectively enlivened by the 
drooping clusters of bright yellow, pea'shaped flowers. 
It can be clipped to form a hedge of moderate height 
or may be allowed to make a tall screen. 
Pygmy Caragana 
A new dwarf shrub ideal for a low hedge because it 
requires little pruning and naturally maintains a dwarf 
compact shape. If not sheared it attains a height of 
about 3 feet. The foliage is fine and dense. In spring 
the hundreds of small golden^yellow flowers add much 
to the interest. Extremely hardy, drought resistant and 
will grow well in sunny locations. Set plants 1 ft. apart.
