CEANOTHUS 
We offer the following varieties which have been tested 
here for hardiness. Some may be hardy further north, but 
this we do not know. They are charming shrubs that 
flower in early summer, mid-summer, and some continue 
flowering until fall. They respond readily to hard pruning 
in early spring, and this should be done to encourage new 
strong growth on which the flowers appear. When used 
as trained plants on a wall, only light clipping is done to 
preserve the trained branches and only the strong growing 
varieties should be used for this purpose. Heavy mulching 
should be done in early winter and tops can be protected 
with cut honeysuckle, which will help greatly in keeping 
them from freezing back hard. When given a southern 
exposure they winter very well, particularly if planted near 
a wall. The charm of these Ceanothus is little known.

We have a number of other varieties of the Ceanothus, 
but only advise them to be grown under glass during the 
winter. Some are extremely handsome and it is unfortu- 
nate that they cannot be grown in our gardens here in the 
east, over winter. Most of them flower during February, 
and one variety Autumnal Blue is a late flowering variety, 
but rather tender. Those I have listed in the preceding 
list have stood zero weather without injury.
