OSING their Ieaves in winter, they are, nevertheless, indis- 
pensable for all mexpensive plantings. After their main 
flowering season we could not do without their colorful 
foliage and brilliant berries, together with their colored twigs 
and branches in winter; all are perfectly hardy everywhere. 
Our young shrubs, averaging 3 feet in height before pruning, 
are just the right age for successful transplanting. The desire 
for immediate effect is sometimes unwise because large, over- 
grown shrubs do not take hold readily and after two or three 
years nothing is gained, whereas younger plants transplant with 
no setback.
