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. Old trees are apt to be¬ 
come twisted and gnarly, a condition 
which adds to its picturesque charm.

showy shrub, growing to large size;

heavy foliage are usually well furnished 
close to the ground.

evergreens. The leaves drop off for 
winter, revealing rather dense, slender 
stems, rather black. 1^ to 2 feet, 75c
