‘CARAGANA (Siberian Pea) 
The foliage of this one could be 
better, but the plant has a place 
to fill where the soil is partic- 
ularly poor and other things will 
not do well. 
CRANBERRY, Hi-Bush, is one of our 
best shrubs for use as a screen 
or in the border planting. The 
large clusters of bright red ber- 
ries are a principal asset and 
are indeed very showy thru the 
fall and winter. 
DOGWOOD, Red Twig, 
accent in winter 
shrub border. 
PAGODA DOGWOOD is one of our native 
shrubs, which, because of its 
habit of producing its branches 
in more or less flat layers, can 
often be used for planting around 
ranch type homes. Also it is good 
for the shaded border planting. 
HONEYSUCKLE, Zabell's, is a red fl- 
owered variety of one of the very 
best of the larger growing shrubs.

HEDGES 
ALPINE CURRANT is hard to beat for 
a hedge one and one-half to three 
feet high. It branches freely and 
low. Plant 12 to 18 inches apart. 
COMMON BUCKTHORN is probably the 
best of the larger growing hedges 
to be kept 35 to 5 feet high. It 
requires four or five dippings 
@ year. Plant 12 inches apart. 
HONEYSUCKLE (Pink tatarian) can be 
used as a clipped hedge, but is 
best used where a screening hedge 
12 to 15 feet high is needed. 
CARAGANA is of particular value in 
poor soil where others will not 
thrive. Clips to 3 to 5 feet.Un- 
trimmed will get about 10 feet. 
AMUR MAPLE (Acer ginnala) 
commended for use as 
clipped hedge in rural areas 
where common Buckthorn is inad- 
visable because of the fact that 
it is alternate host to Oat Rust. 
Clips 4 to 6 feet. Plant 18 to 24 
inches apart for clipping, and 
about 4 feet otherwise.
