ROCK ROSE (See Cistus). 
SKIMMIA JAPONICA. The Skimmia are densely branched, usually 
low shrubs with medium-sized, generally oblong acute leaves, 
small white flowers, and showy brilliant red berry-like fruit. They 
are tender; hardy on Pacific Coast. Handsome shrubs for borders 
of evergreen shrubberies and especially valuable for planting in 
cities, as they belong to the best smoke-enduring evergreen shrubs. 
They are particularly beautiful when covered with their bright 
red fruits, which are retained through the whole winter. 
SPIREA. Deciduous shrubs. Very ornamental, usually low or 
medium-sized shrubs with rather small deciduous foliage and with 
small white or pink or sometimes nearly crimson flowers. Spireas 
are divided into two groups by blooming time. One group blooming 
from April to June. The other group blooming from June to autumn. 
The Spireas are well adapted for borders of shrubberies, as 
single specimens on the lawn, or for rockeries.

STRANVAESIA DAVIDIANA. These are handsome evergreen 
shrubs with rather larger Justrous leaves and small white flowers, 
followed by red pea-sized berries. These ornamental woody plants 
with their handsome foliage are excellent landscape subjects. 
SYRINGA (Lilac). The lilacs are mostly large shrubs with bright 
green medium-sized foliage and with large showy panicles of lilac, 
purple or white flowers. They are among the most popular and 
ornamental flowering shrubs, and hardly any garden or park is 
found without them. The fragrance of the lilac is very sweet. The 
lilac are very showy in bloom, especially when massed in groups, 
and groups as a rule are the more effective the fewer different 
varieties they contain.

TAMARIX AFRICANUS. Deciduous shrubs or trees, very graceful 
with slender branches clothed with minute scale-like appressed 
leaves, and with usually light pink small flowers in large and 
loose terminal panicles. Well adapted for dry-land conditions. 
Excellent for seaside planting as they thrive in the very spray of 
the salt water. 
TAXUS BACCATA (English Yew). This is old favorite of English 
gardens. Native of Europe and north Africa to the Himalayas. 
Deep green, rapid growing in good soil; very dense. Will do quite 
well in poor soil and in dry situations. One of the best of all hedge 
plants, as it will stand any amount of pruning. Thrives in either 
sun or shade. The English Yew has this great advantage in hedges, 
in common with all the yews, the trees make uniform growth all 
along the line, regardless of sun or shade. Hardy evergreen. 
TAXUS BACCATA AUREA (Golden English Yew). A rare plant 
and one of the most handsome of all yews. Foliage bright golden, 
diminishing in color late in the season. Hardy, slow growing, 
globe shaped, compact. Seldom reaches a height of more than 
5 or 6 feet. 
TAXUS BACCATA ELEGANTISSIMA (Variegated English Yew). 
Dwarf, broadly columnar, slow growing. The foliage is very dense 
and bright golden. Compact, hardy and unusual. 
TAXUS BACCATA ERECTA (Broom Yew). A columnar form of the 
English Yew, of fine, erect form of growth; compact and full but 
not quite as narrow as the Irish Yew, and has smaller foliage. 
The foliage is dark, rich green and together with the shapely 
form, sets this splendid tree out in deservedly delightful] manner. 
A fairly rapid grower. Very superior for narrow hedges where 
real quality is desired. Hardy. 
TAXUS BACCATA FASTIGIATA (Irish Yew). Columnar and formal, 
compact, hardy. Foliage intensely dark green, not changing in the 
least with the seasons. Very slow growing and very desirabie. 
The aristocrat of yews. 
TAXUS BACCATA PROCUMBENS (Prostrate English Yew). One of 
the beautiful types, being of broad vase-shaped form of growth, low 
and heavily branched. Has deep green foliage. Is a strong, vigor- 
ous grower, and of far more than ordinarily attractive appearance. 
Occupies a valuable place in landscaping where low growers 
are desired because of its commanding form and color. Does 
equally well in sun or shade. Hardy and rare.
