Buddleia Veitchii Magnifica—Summer Lilac or Butterfly Bush. Buddleia - Butterfly Bush Summer Lilac Buddleia Veitchii Magnifica. A comparatively new plant making an attractive show with red- dish-violet Cowers and long white leaves. Blooming all the latter part of the summer. Can be planted promiscuously among shrubs or in masses for a back ground. In severe winters top kills back but comes up quickly next season. Benzoin - Spice Bush Fine for border or screen planting. Strong growing dark red berries and foliage. Brown twigs are very attractive in winter. Berberis - Barberry B. TLuuibergii (Japanese Barberry). Low compact growing shrub much used for border or hedge planting. Can be trimmed for formal planting. Small flowers in May followed by abundance of berries which turn to deep scarlet in winter. The fine green foliage turns to a brilliant red in autumn. Very attractive. Calycanthus - Sweet Shrub or Allspice The old-fashioned sweet shrub with a rare and peculiar fragrance of wood and flowers; an abundance of chocolate-colored flowers in June and at intervals afterward. Foliage rich dark green. Caragana Caragana arborescens (Siberian Pea Tree), An upright growing shrub bearing bright yel- low flowers in abundance. The bloom is smaller but the shape of a sweet pea blossom. Very hardy and attractive in group planting. Ceanothus Ceanothus Amerieamis (New Jersey Tea). A valuable shrub for dry sandy situations with small white flowers in dense panicles in June and July. Cephalanthus Ceplialantlras occidentals (Button Bush). A tall-growing shrub with globe-shaped heads of fragrant white flowers. One of the best for water side planting. Chionanthus Cliioiianthns Virginica (White Fringe). A very desirable shrub for its white blossoms which make it seem a cloud of snowy lace against the deep green foliage. A fine shrub for specimen planting. Clethra Clethra alnifolia (Sweet Pepper Bush). A very valuable shrub for border planting on ac- count of abundance of sweet-scented white flowers. Adapted to wet and shady places. Colutea Colutea arborescens (Bladder Senna). A rapid-growing large shrub with light green foli- age. Yellow flowers in June followed by showy red pods.
