THE SARCOXIE NURSERIES PEONY FIELDS 
Shrubs, continued 
Virginal Mock Orange (Page 7) 
Forsythia; Golden Bell 
One of the first shrubs to let us know spring is here, with 
its abundance of four-petaled, somewhat bell-shaped golden 
flowers, swinging in small clusters all along the leafless branch¬ 
es in March, sometimes during mild February days, occasionally 
extending into April. Very free from insects and diseases. The 
leaves remain green till late fall. Prune soon after blooming, 
to keep the bush compact and the height desired. Suitable for 
partial but not dense shade: of easy culture in any well drained 
garden soil. 
Forsythia primulina; Primrose Forsythia. Primrose-yellow, 
blooming a little later than spectabilis. 
Forsythia spectabilis. One of the best upright Forsythias; 
pure, rich yellow flowers, sometimes in. across: better color 
and blooms more freely than most varieties.

Fringe, White; Chionanthus virginica 
Its Greek name meaning “Snow'flower” is very appropriate. 
Its drooping clusters, 4-6 in. long, of snow-white flowers with 
4 narrow fringe-like petals about 1 in. long, scent the whole 
garden in early May, before the leaves are fully developed. Au¬ 
tumn foliage yellowish. It blooms when quite small. A back¬ 
ground of evergreens or of shrubs with delicate foliage, will in¬ 
tensify the effect of the snow-white flowers swaying in the 
breeze. Succeeds in partial shade. 
18 to 24 inches, 60c each; 2 to 3 feet, 75c each. 
Honeysuckle, Bush; Lonicera 
Those only acquainted with the climbing honeysuckle should 
plant some of the bush form for their beauty of foliage, profu¬ 
sion of flowers in latter April, and abundant, brilliant fruit, 
about the size of a currant, often even more showy than the 
flowers, in June, when we have few ornamental berries. An ex¬ 
cellent specimen shrub and good for screen plantings, because 
compact in growth, with neat foliage retained late. Of easy 
culture: suitable for partial shade. Should have sufficient space 
to develop naturally. Prune if necessary after blooming which, 
however, reduces the number of berries that year. Usually 
grows 6 to 8 ft. high. 
Honeysuckle, Bush, continued 
Fragrantissima; Winter Honeysuckle. Its very early small 
flowers are so numerous and fragrant they scent the whole gar¬ 
den: buds pink on the outside, opening creamy-white to blush, 
followed by scarlet berries. Foliage half evergreen. Blooms in 
early March, sometimes February. The branches are easily 
forced into bloom in the house in latter January. 
Morrowi; Japan Honeysuckle. Flowers white, changing to 
yellow, followed by bright red berries in summer, A round 
headed shrub with wide spreading, willowy branches, attaining a 
height of 4 to 6 ft. Leaves 1 to 2 in. long, gray-green. 
Wheeling. A neat, compact shrub of vigorous growth, with 
pretty bright green foliage appearing in early spring and remain¬ 
ing until late autumn: attains a height of about 8 ft. Flowers 
in pairs at the base of the leaf-stems, deep pink, almost red, fol¬ 
lowed by an abundance of red berries. One of the best of the 
Tartarian varieties.

Hydrangea Hills of Snow; H. arborescens grandiflora 
When the shrub flowers of spring are gone, this Hydrangea, 
well named for its profusion of large, somewhat globular white 
flower heads, renews the floral display in June, brightening a 
scene that otherwise might fall into summer dullness. Cut the 
blooms off as they turn green and it will bloom a long time. 
In sunny situations the shoots are stronger, though it gives good 
results in partial shade or the north side of a building. Pruning 
nearly to the ground each spring keeps the bushes dense and 
rather round, with a height of 3 to 5 ft. The new shoots bear 
)the flowers, and the more they are cut back the stronger the 
growth and the larger the flower heads. Give it fertile soil and 
plenty of water while blooming.

Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora; Peegee 
It produces the largest flower heads and is one of the most 
showy shrubs of August. The large, compact, cone-shaped clus¬ 
ters are white, becoming pale pink with age, the pink varying 
with the season, finally bronze. Grows 5 to 7 ft. high. Should 
have a sunny situation. Pruning in early spring, removing the 
weak shoots and severely cutting back the stronger, increases 
the size of the flower clusters. It should have fertile soil and 
plenty of water while blooming.
