Shrubs, continued 
Dogwood, Bailey’s; Cornus Baileyi 
After the leaves have fallen this shrub lights up the shrub- 
bery border with its dark red branches, more intense with the 
approach of winter. Flat clusters of small fuzzy, cream-white 
flowers in spring; grows 6 to 10 ft. high. Pruning to the 
ground early each spring will reduce the height and give 
more young branches which are of better color. Succeeds in 
well drained soil, in sun or partial shade.

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 often | in. long, swinging in small clusters all along 
the leafless branches in March, sometimes during mild Febru- 
ary 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. Primrose-yellow, 
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.

What a few shrubs will do. 
These pictures show better than 
words can tell the value of at- 
tractive home surroundings.

Fringe, White; Old Man’s Beard; Chionanthus virginica 
Its Greek name meaning “snow flower” is very appropri- 
ate. The drooping clusters 4 to 6 in. long of snow-white flow- 
ers with four fringe-like petals about 1 in. long scent the 
whole garden in early May before the leaves are fully devel- 
oped. Leaves leathery, 4 to 8 in. long, deep green, yellowish 
in autumn. Fruit like a purplish plum % in. long; blooms 
when quite small. A background of evergreens or shrubs in- 
tensifies the effect of the small white flowers swaying in the 
slightest breeze. Succeeds in sun or partial shade. Decidedly 
unusual and beautiful.

Honeysuckle, Bush; Lonicera 
Those only acquainted with climbing honeysuckle should 
plant some of the bush form for their beauty of foliage, pro- 
fusion of flowers in pairs at the base of the leaves in latter 
April, and abundant, brilliant berries about the size of a cur- 
rant, often even more showy than the flowers, in June, when 
we have few ornamental berries. An excellent specimen 
shrub and good for screen plantings, because compact in 
growth, with neat foliage retained late. Of easy culture; 
suitable for partial shade. Should have sufficient space to

“There is a lesson in each flower, 
A story in each grove and bower. 
On every herb on which you tread 
Are written words which rightly read 
Will lead you from earth’s fragrant sod 
To hope and holiness and God.’’
