Cranberry Bush; Viburnum opulus 
The parent of the Common Snowball, and like it in habit 
of growth, but the white flowers are in flat clusters in May. 
The center flowers, which produce the berries, are small, with 
an outer ring of showy flowers like the individual flowers of 
the Snowball. The bright scarlet, cranberry-like fruits color in 
late July or early August, remaining well into winter when not 
easten by the birds. Endures partial shade; attains 8 to 12 ft.; 
prune, if necessary, after blooming.

Crape Myrtle; Lagerstroemia indica 
Its clusters of flowers with petals crinkled like crape are 
borne in profusion throughout latter summer. As important in 
the south as Lilacs in the north. It may be grown here if 
mounded with soil in winter, the same as everblooming roses. 
If the top winter injures, cut it back to sound wood and the 
new growth will bloom the same summer. Watermelon Red.

If thou art worn and hard beset 
With sorrows, that thou wouldst forget, 
If thou wouldst read a lesson, that will keep 
Thy heart from fainting and they soul from sleep, 
Go to the woods and hills! No tears 
Dim the sweet look that Nature wears. 
H. W. Longfellow. 
Currant, Golden; Clove Bush; Ribes odoratum 
An old time favorite for its dove-like fragrance. In latter 
April, after Forsythias have finished blooming, it is almost cov- 
ered with clusters of small tubular golden flowers, as the leaves 
are unfolding. Attains a height of 4 to 5 ft.; succeeds in sun 
or partial shade; prune after blooming.

Desmodium penduliflorum; Lespedeza formosa 
In late August and September, when few other shrubs are 
blooming, this one is very showy, its branches somewhat arched 
with their load of dooping clusters of rosy-purple flowers near¬ 
ly V 2 in. long, like small peas. Its delicate textured foliage 
consists of 3 leaflets. Grows 3 to 4 ft. high. In this section 
usually freezes back in winter and should be pruned to the 
ground each spring.

Deutzia Lemoine 
Beautiful snow-white 5-petaled starry flowers in broad or 
somewhat cone-shaped clusters in early May. Compact habit, 
decidedly upright and a little taller than gracilis, reaching about 
4 ft., with flowers more tightly clustered. Succeeds in sun or 
partial shade: prune part of the old wood out each spring di¬ 
rectly after blooming.

Deutzia Pride of Rochester 
Covered in latter May with dainty double tassel-like flowers 
in upright clusters 4 to 6 in. long, white, the outer petals tint¬ 
ed rose, in a setting of deep green foliage. Upright, vigorous, 
growing 6 to 8 ft. high, in any well drained soil of average 
fertility; prune after blooming.

Dogwood, Bailey’s; Cornus Baileyi 
After the leaves have fallen this shrub lights up the shrub¬ 
bery border with its bright red branches, more intense with the 
approach of winter. Flat clusters of small fuzzy, creamy- 
white flowers in spring; grows 6 to 10 ft. high. Pruning to 
the ground early each spring will reduce the height and give 
more young branches which are of better color. Succeeds in 
well drained soil, in sun or partial shade.

What a Few Shrubs Will Do 
These pictures show better than 
words can tell, the value of at¬ 
tractive home surroundings and 
what a few trees and shrubs will 
do. You who contemplate land¬ 
scaping your ground are invited 
to consult with our landscape de¬ 
partment. 
There is a lesson in each flower, 
A story in each grove and bow¬ 
er. 
On every herb on which you 
tread 
Are written words which 
rightly read 
Will lead you from earth’s 
fragrant sod 
To hope and holiness and God.
