Fern-Leaf Sumac 
STAGHORN 
Rhus Typhina. An elegant 
shrub with a most beauti¬ 
ful foliage, growing to a 
height of 8 feet. The fern¬ 
like leaves are attractively 
arranged on long, slender 
branches, light green 
through the summer. In 
the fall the leaves turn 
pink and red, a wonderful 
sight throughout the fall 
weeks. Perfectly hardy 
anywhere, it is by far the 
i-nost attractive foliage 
shrub, of easiest culture, 
requiring very little care. 
2 to 3 ft., well rooted, usu¬ 
ally single stemmed, a well 
branched top develops 
within one growing season.

Red Waxberry, Coralberry 
Symphoricarpus vulgaris. Grows 3 to 5 
ft. tall. It is a native shrub of Nebraska, 
sometimes called "Indianberry.” I rec¬ 
ommend this shrub especially on account 
of its superior hardiness, healthy gi-owth, 
resistance to drought, and because it can 
be grown most anywhere without special 
care. It will hold the soil on steep land, 
will make a nice showing as an informal 
hedge. Blooms bright pink in July, the 
berries however, which cling to the bush 
all through late fall and winter, are the 
more important ornament of the shrub. 
They are coral red and come in such 
numbers as to create a showy picture.

Tamarix Odessa Tamarix Hispida 
Grows to a height of 12 to 15 
feet, and can also be grown 
in form of a tree to a height 
of 25 ft. Odessa is extra 
hardy, its slender branches 
covered with minute, alter¬ 
nate scale-like buds of bluish 
gi-een. During the blootning 
period the shrub is taking on 
a delicate pink color as the 
small pink blossoms cover 
every twig and liranch. Each 
branch becomes an individ¬ 
ual spray of pink color. This 
blooming period is in .June, 
lasting foi' several weeks, 
gradually changing back to 
tbe bluisb green lacy appear¬ 
ance. For a lower and extra 
dense busb growth tbe sbrub 
can be cut back to witbin a 
foot from the ground ever.v 
two or three years. The re¬ 
sult will be an exti-emel.v 
dense growtb that does not 
I’articularly adapted for 
shearing to a lower bush 
form. Without shearing it 
will grow as tall as the 
Odessa, Init if sheared every 
few years it forms an extra 
nice dense growth from the 
ground up. In normal sea¬ 
sons this shrub blooms be¬ 
ginning in June thi'ough the 
greater part of the summer. 
It is hardy anywhere in the 
Middle West and the Eastern 
states, and lequii-es little 
care in watering or special 
cultivation. The Tamaiix 
vaiieties are not affected by 
saline or alkaline soil, they 
thrive very well in the very 
spiay of salt watei' at sea¬ 
side plantings. The color of 
the blossom of the Hispida 
variet.v is more of a carmine, 
or deeper- pink, than that of 
the Odessa. Plant Tamarix 
somewhere in your- garden: 
.you will love it.
