plumes. It succeeds everywhere.

ter, it would be planted in large numbers. It 
makes a low, compact bush 3 to 3% feet tall. In 
the spring and fall, the foliage is a_ striking 
maroon color. In May—June, it is covered with 
clusters of bright rosy-pink flowers, and occasional

pure white flowers. It grows only 3 to 4 feet tall

Tamarix and as a matter of fact is one of the 
finest of all shrubs. It grows 10 to 12 feet tall if

height. It grows in sun or shade, in wet or dry 
places. The fine, feathery foliage is silvery-blue.
