LAUROCERASUS schipkaensis. 6'-8' Cherry Laurel 
EVERGREEN. Rarely seen, this handsome shrub should 
prove useful for bold effects with its five inch lustrous 
green leaves. A rather sheltered semi-shady spot is best.

LEIOPHYLLUM buxifolium. l'-2' Box Sand Myrtle

when small pinkish flowers bejewel the branches. Al¬ 
though naturally irregular the cultivated specimens are 
generally well shaped little cushions with small leaves.

LESPEDEZA formosa. 6'-7' Purple Bush Clover 
Reddish purple flowers just hide the clover-like leaves in 
July and August. Although the slender arching branches 
may freeze back, it quickly makes a graceful shrub. 
3 to 4 ft.60 
LEUCOTHOE axillaris. 2'-3' 
Lesser Leucothoe 
EVERGREEN. Although not so handsome as its dashing 
brother, really -neater and more useful for the small bor¬ 
der. The shiny three inch leaves are set more closely to¬ 
gether on the arching shoots which form a broad well filled 
clump. Flower spikes are shorter and fewer than in 
"catesbaei" and the winter coloring is not so beautiful.

Drooping Leucothoe 
EVERGREEN. What a glorious welcome sight the rich 
purple foliage makes in winter, and even in summer the 
thick shiny green five inch leaves, so regularly arranged 
on the arching branches are striking. Then in May, 
graceful sprays of fragrant white flowers hang from the 
branches, giving the effect of a flowering fern. Hand¬ 
some as Christmas decorations. Useful for shady ground 
cover work. Moist acid soil is ideal.

HALF EVERGREEN. Admittedly a splendid hedge plant, 
but don't overlook it as a specimen shrub where the 
graceful lines of the spreading branches are notable.
