approach of winter. Flat clusters of small fuzzy, creamy-

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 al! 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. 
blooming a little later than spectabilis. 
Forsythia spectabilis. One of the best upright Forsythias; 
pure, rich yellow flowers, sometimes 1% in. across; better color 
and blooms more freely than most varieties.

Fringe, White; Chionanthus virginica 
Its Greek name meaning ‘“‘snow flower’’ is very appropriate. 
The drooping clusters 4-6 in. long of snow-white flowers with 
4 fringe-like petals about 1 in. long scent the whole garden in 
early May before the leaves are fully developed. Autumn foli- 
age yellowish. Blooms when quite small. A background of 
evergreens or shrubs will intensify the effect of the snow-white 
flowers swaying in the slightest breeze. Succeeds in sun or par- 
tial shade.
