Tamarix; Tamarisk 
While grown mainly for their delicate feathery foliage, in 
general effect like Asparagus, the tiny flowers make the bush 
a cloud of pink. Prune severely each spring to maintain a 
continuous supply of new wood and to keep the plant bushy 
and the height desired. It attains 4 to 15 ft. according to va- 
riety. Plant lower growing shrubs in front of the taller Tama- 
rix, 
Tamarix Hispida rubra. Grows 5 to 6 feet high with feath- 
ery green foliage and long plumes of tiny flowers of bright 
pink, almost red. Prune severely each year.

Vitex; New Chaste Tree. Its long spikes of small, rather 
deep lavender blue flowers at the ends of the branches in 
July and at intervals till fall, somewhat resemble those of the 
Butterfly Bush. It makes a distinctive, rather large shrub of 
graceful, open airy habit, with five-fingered leaves, dark 
green above, grayish beneath, with an aromatic pungent 
odor. Not yet in general use, but desirable in the shrub 
border for contrast.
