per 10. 
Enkianthus campanulatus. Red- 
vein Enkianthus. 8 ft. A neat 
treelike shrub with branches 
in whorls like a series of um- 
brellas. The pinkish striped 
flowers are like large Lilies'of' 
the-Valley hanging in clusters 
in May. The foliage is its 
greatest attraction, turning to 
brilliant shades of pink, red, 
scarlet, orange, and yellow in 
the fall. Although a cousin to 
the Azalea, it tolerates a fair 
amount of lime. Very fine.

EUONYMUS 
Gorgeous Fall Coloring and Fruits 
The evergreen varieties of Euonymus are listed under Evergreen 
Shrubs. Here are listed the upright, deciduous shrub types whose 
decorative value lies in their brilliantly colored foliage and attractive 
fruits of autumn. 
fEuonymus alatus. Winged Euonymus. 10 ft. (M.) Most desirable 
shrub of densely branched, compact habit, with yellowish flowers, 
followed by red fruit. The foliage turns a brilliant red in autumn. 
Twigs have four corky wings. Useful for thick screens or showy 
masses of foliage.

fE. alatus compacta. Dwarf Winged Euonymus. 6 ft. A dwarf type of 
the above, forming an extremely dense, slow growing shrub whose 
foliage in autumn is even more brilliant than E. alatus, and in the 
Arnold Arboretum it has caused as much comment for its brih 
liancy as any shrub growing there. Its dense habit of growth makes 
it an ideal shrub for use in much the same manner as the Ever' 
green Boxwood is used, either as specimens or accents in a gar' 
den. It is also ideal for use as a low growing dense hedge.

FORSYTHIA - Goldenbell 
The Most Welcome of All Spring Bloom 
Spring is really spring when the Forsythias bloom! Somehow they 
are the most welcome of the early shrubs because their tender yellow 
blossoms so definitely belong to that season and no other; and while 
they seem no stronger than a cloud of yellow butterflies, they defy 
and defeat winter at the door of spring! One Forsythia shining against 
a clump of evergreens is a pretty sight, but a clump of them, a bor' 
der, or a hedge of them is a miracle of loveliness, from mid'April to 
early May. In acid soils, Forsythias benefit from fair applications of 
lime. 
fForsythia intermedia. Border Forsythia. 8 ft. (L.) An erect'growing 
shrub, but when full grown the branches arch gracefully, and bear 
clouds of deep yellow flowers.

fF. intermedia spectabilis. Showy Border Forsythia. 8 ft. Much 
more profuse-flowering than the original type, and several shades 
richer in its glorious deep yellow. Plants vigorous and compact. 
Regarded by the Arnold Arboretum and all others who have 
grown it as the finest member of the family.
