Shrubs, continued 
Cranberry Bush; Viburnum opulus 
The parent of the Common Snowball, and like it in habit 
of growth, but the white flowers are in flat clusters in May. 
The center flowers, which produce the berries, are small, with 
an outer ring of showy flowers like the individual flowers of 
the Snowball. The bright scarlet, cranberry-like fruits color in 
late July or early August, remaining well into winter when not 
easten by the birds. Endures partial shade; attains 8 to 12 ft.; 
prune, if necessary, after blooming.

Crape Myrtle; Lagerstroemia indica 
Its clusters of flowers with petals crinkled like crape are 
borne in profusion throughout latter summer. As important in 
the south as Lilacs in the north. It may be grown here if 
mounded with soil in winter, the same as everblooming roses. 
If the top winter injures, cut it back to sound wood and the 
new growth will bloom the same summer. 
In this part of the country Crape Myrtle is rather difficult to 
transplant. Often it remains alive but does not break into 
growth for a long time. Soil banked about it, a flower pot or 
pail inverted over the plant, often causes more rapid budding, 
due to moisture about the tops. In the nursery we have little 
trouble with Crape Myrtle, due to usual nursery care, but can- 
not assure growth: Pink and Watermelon Red,

Currant, Golden; Clove Bush; Ribes odoratum 
An old time favorite for its clove-like fragrance. In latter 
April, after Forsythias have finished blooming, it is almost cov- 
ered with clusters of small tubular golden flowers, as the leaves 
are unfolding. Attains a height of 4 to 5 ft.; succeeds in sun 
or partial shade; prune after blooming.

Forsythia

Mock Orange 
(Page 8) 
Desmodium, Purple; Desmodium penduliflorum; 
Lespedeza formosa 
In late August and September, when few other shrubs are 
blooming, this one is very showy, its branches somewhat arched 
with their load of dooping clusters of rosy-purple flowers near- 
ly % in. long, like small peas. Its delicate textured foliage 
consists of 3 leaflets. Grows 3 to 4 ft. high. In this section 
usually freezes back in winter and should be pruned to the 
ground each spring. It will bloom that same year.

Desmodium, White; Desmodium penduliflorum alba 
Similar to the purple except the flowers are white and bloom 
a trifle later; excellent in contrast.
