a wonderful showing in very early spring, before the leaves ap¬ 
pear. Autumn foliage orange and scarlet. Upright habit with

many small, pure white flowers in clusters in March, before the 
leaves are developed; leaves very narrow, 1 to 1 % in- long, 
light green, in autumn orange and scarlet. The light green, fine 
feathery foliage effect makes Thunbergi suitable for nearby 
plantings were shrubs of coarse texture would be out of place. 
Prune after blooming. Grows 3 to 5 ft. high.

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 l % 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, 
prune some of the old canes to the ground. Grows 6 to 7 ft. 
high.

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.

5 ft. high. Prefers a loamy soil, cool and deep. 
3 to Z/z feet_2.75 each 
Vitex macrophylla; 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.

Wayfaring Tree; Viburnum lantana

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.

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.
