Desmodium, Purple; Purple Bush Clover; Desmodium 
penduliflorum; Lespedeza formosa; Desmodium Sieboldi 
In late August and September, when few other shrubs are 
blooming, Desmodium is very showy, its branches somewhat 
arched with drooping clusters 3 to 9 in. long (sometimes ex- 
tending 2 ft. along the branches) of rosy-purple flowers near- 
ly YQ in. long, like tiny peas. Its delicate-textured foliage con- 
sists of three rather small medium deep green leaflets. Grows 
3 to 4 ft. high, the clump throwing up more shoots each 
spring; freezes back in winter; should be pruned to the 
ground each spring.

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 1 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 11% in. across; better 
color and blooms more freely than most varieties.

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 
develop naturally. Prune if necessary after blooming which, 
however, reduces the number of berries that year. Most va- 
rieties grow 6 to 8 ft.-high. : 
Fragrantissima; Winter Honeysuckle. Its very early small 
flowers are so numerous and fragrant they scent the whole 
garden; buds pink, opening creamy-white to blush. Foliage 
half evergreen. Blooms in. early March, sometimes February. 
The branches are easily forced into bloom in the house in 
latter January. Seldom fruits. } 
Red Tatarian, tatarica rubra. A graceful shrub that bears 
a profusion of deep pink flowers in June which shows up 
well against the foliage. These are followed by an abund- 
ance of bright red berries. It flourishes in partial shade. 2 to 
3 ft. only. eae 
Wheeling. A neat, compact shrub of vigorous growth, with 
pretty bright green foliage appearing in early spring and re- 
maining until late autumn; attains a height of about 8 ft. 
Flowers deep pink, almost red, followed by an abundance of 
red berries. One of the best of the Tartarian varieties. 
White Bush. Flowers white, excellent for contrast with the 
colored varieties; red berries in summer.

Hydrangea Hills of Snow; H. arborescens grandiflora 
With the passing of the early spring flowers, this Hydran- 
gea, well named for its profusion of large, globular white — 
flower heads, renews the floral display in June, brightening 
a scene that otherwise might fall into summer dullness. Cut 
the blooms off as they turn green and it will bloom a long 
time. In sunny situations the shoots are stronger, though it 
gives good results in partial shade or the north side of the 
building. Pruning nearly to the ground each spring keeps 
the bushes dense and rather round, with a height of 3 to 5 ft. 
The new shoots bear the flowers, and the more they are cut 
back the stronger the growth and the larger the flower heads. 
Give it fertile soil and plenty of water while blooming.
