greens and Azaleas. Plentifully dotted with dainty white 
flowers in the spring. In the late summer these are sup- | 
planted by fragrant red berries. Both leaves and berries 
are edible; in fact, they are the source of the familiar oil

dation planting, about 1 foot apart. Will grow in sun, but 
prefers shade or partial shade. Clumps, $1.20 for 3; $3.50

to hide unsightly stumps, rock piles, etc. The foliage is a 
good shade of green to the very end and the fluffy, cream- 
white flowers are borne in late summer and fall in great 
sprays. Even the seed pods that follow them are most at- 
tractive. Plants will often grow as much as 20 feet 
in a single year and are quite easily trimmed to 
keep them from getting out of bounds. 2-yr. plants,

trellis. With judicious pruning, it will produce

jured in the severe 1947-48 winter. The lush
