IV PRODUCTION
T is only quite lately that people have come to realise the invaluable assistance that can be got in beautifying our gardens by a judicious selec-
tion of flowering trees and shrubs. We have now within our reach so many lovely varieties of hardy ones that at no time of the year need one be without the bloom of several; especially as, when once established, they require so little attention, that they come within the reach of even the
humblest gardener.
The following selection does not attempt to give every variety of the different species, as that would make this volume too bulky, and conse- quently less handy; but it will be found to contain
some of the best of those that will thrive in the
open in’ England; and they have been arranged according to the months in which they flower in the latitude of London. It will be observed, therefore, that in more Northern localities the flowering season will be later, and wice versd in
more Southern and warmer ones.
Before closing this Introduction, I should like to express my most grateful thanks to the numerous friends and gardeners who have assisted me_ with their personal experience, and also to the correspon- dents of ‘Gardening Illustrated, and its Editor, Mr. W. Robinson, as well as to Mr. George Nicholson, A.L.S., whose work, ‘The Dictionary of Gardening,’
I have found invaluable.
NOTE TO SECOND EDITION.
Owi1NnG tothe way in which the first edition of this book was received, and the numerous kind criticisms that were made upon it, I venture to publish a second edition containing considerable additions and revisions that I think will materially improve it.
|e bey Gb February, 1902.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Abelia floribunda,
Even in the South, can only be grown against a wall, and it is certainly not sufficiently hardy to be planted in all parts of England; this is indeed un- fortunate, for it is a most lovely evergreen, and though it is only 3 ft. high the joys of Spring would be much enhanced by a peep in March at its rose purple clusters of flowers. Mexico is its native land, and we have known it since 1842 doing well where a little silver sand has been mixed in with a soil composed of loam and peat in equal proportions. Layers that are placed under a frame in Spring will root, and so will cuttings taken in Summer.
Abelia rupestris
Is deciduous, and seems perfectly hardy in the South. The numerous small pink sweet - scented flowers appear in September, and add much to the

we
pleasure of this neat and graceful shrub. It was brought here from China in 1844, two-years after we had got to know the 4. floribunda. ~ The same soil seems to suit both plants, and, when raised in a similar way, it will be found to reach a height of about 5 ft.
Aesculus neglecta.
Synonym for Pavia neglecta, q.v.
At sculus pavia.
Synonym for Pavia rubra.
Atsculus rubicunda
(Red Horse Chestnut) to my mind far exceeds the common Horse Chestnut C41. hippocastanum) in beauty both of form and flower. It is not so large, only growing to a height of some 20 ft., and in June well deserves its nickname ‘the giant nosegay,’ being then completely covered with pink blossoms that appear in upright panicles. Even after these have fallen the effect of the pink petals against the rich green of a closely mown lawn is a sight that will not readily be forgotten. When budded or grafted on to the common Horse Chestnut, or grown from layers that have been put down in Spring, it will be found to do well and grow quickly in nearly any soil, but it prefers a rich loam. \
TREES AND SHRUBS 3
Amelanchier canadensis
(Grape Pear). 'To be wreathed in the Spring with pure white snow and rich in autumnal gold; what can be more beautiful? And that is what the Pyrus Botryapium, as it is also sometimes called, can boast of; but more, too, for whenever it greets you, whether as a shrub grown from seed or cuttings, or grafted as a standard upon the single stem of an apple, a hawthorn or a quince, both grace and charm will always be present.
You will find it is happiest in a sheltered spot, where the Spring winds cannot treat its blossoms roughly, and where it will find some rich loam for its bed; in this latter point, however, it is’ not at all particular. It will reach a height of about 8 ft., though it does not wait for that to shine forth in all its glory. Bullfinches will tell you there is no feast in Spring like one off Amelanchier buds.
Amelanchter vulgaris
(Common Medlar), syn. Mespilus Amelanchier. Just as charming as the Amelanchier canadensis (q.v. for soil, situation, propagation, Xe.) is the ‘Snowy Mespilus,’ as it is commonly called, because of its beautiful racemes of pure white April flowers, which, however, do not carry off the whole palm for beauty, for they have a formidable rival in the young, greyish purple leaves.
IL CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
Amygdalus Besseriana
(Besser’s Almond), also known as A. nana, is a tiny little almond that grows only to a height of 3 ft. and looks charming with its blush-coloured blooms. — For
propagation, soil, &c., v. A. communis.
AL mygdalus communis
(Common Almond). According to Homer it was Phyllis, daughter of the Thracian King Sithon, who was changed by the gods into this lovely tree. Demophon had betrothed himself to her, and went to Attica in order to settle his affairs before their marriage. He, however, stayed away so long that Phyllis thought she had been forsaken, and put an end to herself. In return for this constancy she was changed to an almond tree. It has now come to be taken as an emblem of hope, and 'T. Moore alludes to it in this way :—
‘The hope, in dreams of a happier hour, That alights on misery’s brow, Springs forth like the silvery almond flower That blooms on a leafless bough.’
It comes into flower in March, before most other trees, and is a lovely thing to grow as a specimen on the lawn, sometimes reaching a height of 30 ft., which for a whole month is a mass of most lovely white or pale
TREES AND SHRUBS. 5
pink flowers that are quite unaffected by frost. The fruit does not often ripen in this country, but in the Autumn of 1896 E. V. B. picked several at Hunter- combe that were quite good to eat. It will do well in any fairly good garden soil, provided the sub-soil is well drained, and it has plenty of root room. It can be budded in the Summer on to seedling plum stocks.
Amygdalus communis amara
( Bitter Almond) comes into bloom in April, later than A. communis (q.v. for propagation, soil, &c.), and its flowers are somewhat larger, with a rosy tinge at the base of their white petals.
Amygdalus communis macrocarpa Does not grow in such a spreading way as the A. communis (q.v. for propagation, &c.). It is the best of all the almonds, and in March, and sometimes even in February, we get its white flowers in full bloom, blushing faintly under Phoebus’ gentle caresses.
Amygdalus Davidiana
In mild seasons will often begin to open its beautiful pink flowers in February. There is also a particularly fine white variety, that im summer 1s especially noticeable on account of its pale green foliage. For propagation v. Amygdalus communis.

Andromeda campanulata,
Named after the daughter of the Ethiopian King Cepheus, who had to be delivered up to the sea monster because her mother Cassiopea boasted that her beauty surpassed that of the Nereids, the sea nymphs of the Mediterranean, has a light red, smooth, and slender trunk about 380 ft. high, and pure white June flowers that hang from its branches in drooping panicles. In Autumn, too, its falling leaves become light yellow, and no wonder it is a great favourite in its native Japan.
Andromeda floribunda
(Lily of the Valley Bush). Vf one wanted a neat little evergreen for the rock garden, about 2 ft. high, one could not do better than select this one, for it is charming all through the year, but more especially so from March to May, when white wax-like flowers adorn it in great profusion. Its sprays will be found most useful for cutting, as they last a long time in water. It is fond of peat, and can be raised from seed if sown very thinly, as soon as ripe, in a soil of that nature mixed with a little sand in a cool frame with plenty of air.
ANDROMEDA SPECIOSA vy. CASSINEFOLIA.
TREES AND SHRUBS. ih
Andromeda speciosa
Makes its home in peaty bogs in its native countries, and in April and May brightens them enormously with masses of white jingling bells, very much like Lilies of the Valley. It will grow to a height of about 4 ft., and, though unlike the A. floribunda in being deciduous, it can be raised in a similar way to that shrub. ‘The most beautiful variety we know of is called cassinefolia, but if there is a question as to hardiness the one called pulverulenta will be found to be the best.
Aralia spinosa
(Angelica Tree), syn. Dimorphanthus mandschuricus, has a unique and very curious appearance in September, when the tufts of creamy flowers appear from the centre of its palm-like leaves. But to get the best effect it should be seen against some dark foliage, such as that of the Yew or Holly. It is deciduous and can be raised in sand from cuttings, or from pieces of its roots; and does well if planted in a warm and sheltered spot in a mixture of loam and leaf soil.
Arbutus unedo (Strawberry Tree) is an evergreen which seen in September and October cannot possibly be overlooked,
8 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
for the dense clusters of ivory white flowers make a charming effect, especially seen as they are in company with the red strawberry-like fruit. When young, some slight protection in Winter will have to be found; and at all times it will have to be given a sunny sheltered spot, though even then a hard Winter will sometimes cut it down to the ground. However, in all but very exceptional cases, it will shoot up again, and, being a strong grower, will soon reach a height of about 10 ft. in any soil, though it prefers a deep light one. It can be raised by budding, or in March from seeds sown in sand. Next to the type, the two best varieties are those called rubra, with bright scarlet flowers, and Croomei, which has larger leaves; its flowers too appear in larger clusters and are stained with reddish pink.
Arctostaphylos tomentosa
(Bearberry) is a handsome evergreen shrub, that will grow to a height of 4 ft. in a light, sandy or peaty soil, and bear pure white flowers in December. It can be raised by budding, inarching, or from seed, which should be sown in sand during March.
Azalea.
In Japan, whence we first obtained several varieties of these beautiful shrubs, one cannot fail in the Spring to notice some of the most lovely ones that we grow
TREES AND SHRUBS. 9
in hot-houses, nestling in masses in the grass in full sunshine under the bluest of skies. Indeed, to my mind, Japan is more a country to be seen in Spring on account of the Azaleas than for the Cherry blossom one hears so much of, and which lasts such a very short time. Emerson speaks of these shrubs as growing also in his country in places where they are quite unshaded.
‘ Azaleas flush the island floors And the tints of Heaven reply,’
but with us, those that are sufficiently hardy to grow out of doors prefer a shady and retired corner, where the winds and early frosts will not molest them; and they should be planted out in October; but when this is done, if they are not placed in the shade, the roots must be protected from the rays of the sun by mulching
until the plants are sufficiently large to protect them themselves. They will grow in any soil that is free from lime, but the one they love is peat.
The following kinds are some of the best, and one will never regret having planted a good selection of them where they can have a dark background to show them off :—
Azalea amena is a neat little evergreen only about 1 ft. high with small leaves like those of our common box, and in April one mass of pink, wax-like flowers.
Azalea hispida is deciduous, and will grow to a
10 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
height of about 12 ft. In July it produces its white Howers, which have an edge and tube tinged with red.
Azalea ledifolia is an evergreen about 6 ft. high, with large white flowers in March; according to Loudon it Howered magnificently as a hedge in Cornwall, quite unprotected.
Azalea mollis is to be found in all kinds of colours from pale yellow to deep scarlet, most deliciously sweet and a beautiful sight in April, if they are protected from the late frosts.
Azalea pontica (common Azalea) is the sweetest and most effective of all, about 6 ft. high, with flowers in May of all shades of yellow and red. The best variety is known as A. alta-clerense.
Azalea viscosa flowers last of all, in July. It is about 8 ft. high, and its small pinkish white flowers are deliciously sweet.
Benthama fragifera,
As an. evergreen wall shrub, is lovely, and, if planted in rather moist loam, its large white flowers continue to bloom from June to October. In Corn- wall it will grow in the open, if well sheltered, and there reach a height of 20 ft., though as a rule it does not exceed 15 ft. Ripe seeds sown in a cool house, or shoots layered in the Autumn, will provide one with new plants.
TREES AND SHRUBS. 11
Berberis aquifolium
(Mahonia) is invaluable as an evergreen that will thrive in any soil, even in clay and under the drip of trees. Apart from this it is a lovely shrub, about 6 ft. high, whether in flower or not, for the colour of its leaves varies from deep green to brilliant red, according to the position in which it is grown. In a moist and shady spot the colour will be deep green, while in a poor dry soil and rather exposed situation, it will be most brilliant. Its golden blossom appears in February, and lasts throughout the Spring, being followed in the ADutumn by masses of purple berries. It can be raised from seed, suckers, layers, or cuttings inserted in the Autumn in sand, and placed in a cold frame.
Berberis Darwin
(Darwin's Barberry) is quite the best of all these Barberries, and that is saying a great deal; but it is worth while gomg some distance in May, and often, too, in the Autumn, to see the slender spreading shoots, wreathed in deep orange-coloured blossom, against the dark background of its evergreen leaves. Fortunately it will thrive in any ordinary garden soil, and grow into a dense spreading evergreen, about 6 ft. high, with small glossy leaves, that make it an excellent shrub for dusty places. For propagation v. B. aquifolium.
12 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
Berberis dulcis
Will attain a height of 8 ft., and as an evergreen is glorious. Its small foliage and light style of growth make it particularly attractive in many ways, while in April its sweet-scented globular orange and yellow flowers make it more especially so. For propagation v. B. aquifolium.
Berberis japonica
Is an evergreen about 8 ft. high, that is quite dis- tinct from the other Barberries, and will do well in any ordinary garden soil. From February to April the clusters of lemon-tinted flowers hang in racemes from the end of its unbranched shoots. It can be raised in a similar way to the B. aquifolium q.v.
Berberis stenophylla
Is an hybrid between the B. empetrifolia and B. Darwint, that is very hardy and will grow in any ordinary garden soil. For propagation v. B. aquifolium. When grown in large masses the effect, in May, of the festoons of rich orange-coloured flowers is simply glorious; for then this deciduous unbranched shrub becomes one mass of colour about 2 ft. high.
TREES AND SHRUBS. 13
Berberis Thunbergi
Is very pretty in April, when it is covered with a mass of small pure white flowers, which look very well against the tender green leaves; but it should be planted just as much for the brilliant crimson shades of its Autumn leaf tints, which are as bright and welcome in late September as any flower in Spring. It is deciduous and grows to a height of 3 ft. in any ordinary garden soil. For propagation v. B. aquifolium.
Berberis vulgaris
(Common Barberry) is an evergreen which looks well at nearly every season of the year. In Spring when the orange flowers hang in pendulous racemes from its branches, or in the Autumn when its brilliant crimson fruits are seen amongst dark green Yews and Hollies, or hanging over a wall, as Longfellow so well describes it in ‘The Song of Hiawatha’ :—
‘Ye who sometimes in your rambles Through the green lanes of the country Where the tangled barberry bushes Hang their tufts of crimson berries Over stone walls grey with mosses, Pause by some neglected graveyard, For a while to muse and ponder On a half-effaced inscription.’
14 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
It will thrive in any soil or situation, and become, with age, a large and spreading bush 15 ft. high. A
variety called
Berberis vulgaris atropurpurea has rich purple
leaves.
Buddleia globosa
(Orange Ball Tree) cannot strictly be called hardy except in very favourable localities; but, though it may be cut down to the ground in a very severe Winter, yet it will spring up again from the roots as strong as ever to the height of about 20 ft.; and it certainly should be given a South or West wall, where one is available, and a light soil, for it is a unique shrub that has not only a particularly, pleasing green foliage, but that in May is covered with a mass of orange-coloured blossoms, which have the additional charm of lasting a long time in water when picked. They will stand any amount of cutting, but one should be careful not to destroy the effect of its loose style of growth. It is best to raise it in the Spring in some sand from cuttings, to which a little heel of the old wood is attached, and one will have to provide them with a little bottom heat after they are rooted, until they are ready to plant out in July.
TREES AND SHRUBS. £5
Cesalpinia japonica
Is a beautiful deciduous shrub that does not grow more than 4 ft. high, but will spread vigorously and have a very uncommon appearance. It produces its bright canary yellow flowers in June, in racemes, which will remain fresh in water many days after they have been cut. Its stems and branches are armed with a number of hard red curved prickles, which show up well against the light green bark. A mixture of loam and leaf mould suits them best. They are not easily increased, but the best chance is to take cuttings straight from a growing shrub and plant them in heat, in sand, with a hand glass over them.
Calycanthus floridus
(Carolina Allspice) is a deciduous shrub— well worth planting. It grows to a height of about 8 ft. in almost any soil, although it prefers a peaty compost where it will have a fairly uniform amount of moisture. Its blossoms are purple, and appear in May. When crushed they give off a scent like Quinces or Straw- berries, and the wood and roots smell strongly of camphor. It is best increased by layers put down in Summer, but it can be grown from seed sown in a cold frame in the Spring, or as soon as they are ripe.
16 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
Calycanthus macrophyllus
Is the garden name for C. occidentals.
Calycanthus occidentals
(Western Allspice). The ‘sweet-scented shrub,’ as it is called familiarly in California, is the best allspice we know in this country. The position it likes best is to be against a wall, with plenty of room to spread, where it is overshadowed by trees and the ground is damp. There it will grow 12 ft. high, and from May to October the air all round will be deliciously scented with its large crimson flowers. It will grow well in any soil, but best of all in a compost of peat. It is often called C. macrophyllus. For propagation v.

In the South of England this lovely sweet-scented evergreen will do quite well, and grow to a height of 10 ft. in a well-drained loamy soil. The bright and clean appearance of its leaves makes it particularly
TREES AND SHRUBS. iy)
attractive ; and in July the pure white flowers appear, quite 3 inches across, with a nice bunch of bright yellow stamens in their centre.
Caryopterts mastacanthus
Must be given the warmest corner possible under a south wall, in order that its wood may become thoroughly ripened; and then even if it is cut down by frost it will quickly recover and bloom the following Autumn. And what a lovely sight it is at that time, quite distinct from anything else in flower at the same time, for almost the whole plant is covered with a tinge of lavender blue. It reaches a height of 5 ft., and will do well in ordinary garden soil, but it requires plenty of water in the summer. It can be increased by division and cuttings or from seed.
Catalpa bignontiordes,
Also known as C. syring@folia, is just one of those deciduous trees which is so lovely that it should be grown wherever there is room for it; but it will require plenty of that, for in a moist ground where it is most happy, it will grow to a height of about 40 ft., with a great spreading head of large and beautiful light green leaves. In July its flowers appear in upright panicles like those of a horse chestnut—white, speckled with

purple and yellow. It will grow in almost any soil or position, even in towns, if in a sheltered spot; and can be raised in the Spring from seed, or in the Autumn
from cuttings or layers.
Catalpa syringefolta.
Syn. for C. bignoniordes.
Ceanothus azureus
Is so beautiful that one is surprised that it is not seen more often, for it is perfectly hardy. If given a warm sunny wall, it will grow quite 10ft. high in a light well-dramed soil, but it is not even particular on this point. As I write on September 21st, 1898, I have before me, in a Suffolk garden, a lovely plant of the variety Gloire de Versailles growing on a South-east wall, and the blossom covers it so completely that it has the appearance of a pale blue settled cloud. I notice some of this year’s shoots are fully 3 ft. long. The bloom lasts from June throughout the Autumn, and it is best increased by layers.
Ceanothus dentatus
Is the earliest to flower, its blossoms appearing in May. It does not reach a greater height than 6 ft., but in all other respects resembles C. azureus, q.v.

Ceanothus virginalts

Cerasus avium
(Wild Cherry) is the first of our two native wild cherries to bloom, the other being the C. Caproniana. It grows into a huge tree 40 ft. high, with spreading branches, which in April and May is to be seen pushing forth its white flowers in company with the young leaves. There is a double variety known as C. a. multiplex, which grows as vigorously as the single form, and blooms at the same time, producing dense clusters of very double pure white flowers in great profusion. In the Spring it can be increased from seed, and in the Autumn either from seed or cuttings, which should be planted in a partially shaded spot with some sharp sand added to the soil. When they are eventually planted out they should be given a good deep, fairly well-drained loam.
20 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
Cerasus Caprontana
(Common Cherry) is the last of our two native cherries to bloom, the first being C. avium. It forms an irregular-shaped tree, 20 ft. high, that in April and May is a mass of white bloom, and its double form, C. C. multiplex, produces its flowers at the same time. For soil and propagation, v. C. avium.
Cerasus Mahaleb pendula
Is a most charming little deciduous tree about 10 ft. high, which in April and May is covered with tiny white flowers. It is a weeping form of the C. Mahaleb. For soil and propagation, v. C. avium.
Cerasus padus bracteosa
(Bird Cherry) is a variety of Bird Cherry which, if allowed to grow as it chooses, will develop into a large bush; but when pruned so as to grow with a single stem it will make a charming tree, that, if given a dry soil, will reach a height of 20 ft. in a very short time, and in April will have its branches quite beaten down with the long white racemes of flowers, giving it a weeping appearance. It will grow anywhere; but always best in a sheltered spot, and can be increased by budding or grafting.
TREES AND SHRUBS. 21
Cerasus pseudocerasus
(Bastard Cherry) used to be known as the Japanese Double Cherry, and one of the best of the cherries from that country. As a rule it grows into a bush about 15 ft. high, of a very picturesque irregular shape, with rigid branches coming out from the base. Its lovely pale pink flowers appear in racemes in April and May, at the same time as the young bright green leaves. There is a form of it called C. Watereri (Waterer’s Cherry) which has a central stem and much more the appearance of a tree. Its flowers, too, are larger and deeper in colour. For soil and propagation, v. C. aviwm.
Cerasus semperflorens aurea varie-
& ata
(Golden Weeping Cherry) is a lovely variety of cherry, as its name alone implies. It will reach a height of 20 ft., and its weeping branches be even more than ordinarily beautiful in May, when its white flowers are in their full glory, but it keeps up a scattered bloom all through the summer. For soil and propagation, v. C. avium.
Cerasus serrulata
(Chinese Double Cherry) grows, as a rule, like the C. pseudocerasus, to a height of about 15 ft. and
22 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
without a central stem, but its flowers are more double and of a purer white when they first open, though they become pink as they fade. In April such is the wealth of blossom that the branches are scarcely visible. For soil and propagation, v. C. aviwm.
Cerasus Weaterert,
v. C. pseudocerasus.
Cercis siliquastrum
(Judas Tree) has not put forth its leaves in May before it is completely covered with blossom, either white or pink, according to the variety, those called alba and carnea being exceptionally good; and no one will deny that it is then one of the most beautiful trees we have got, with a flat head sometimes 30 ft. high, and wide spreading limbs almost hidden by flowers. Some say that Judas hanged himself from one of its branches; but one prefers to connect no episode so painful with it. It will live in any soil; but trees raised from seed in a light one, brought .on by a little heat and planted out in a deep free loam or some rich sand, seem to do best; and in cold districts it should be protected by a wall.
CHIMONANTHUS FRAGRANS.
TREES AND SHRUBS. 23
Chimonanthus fragrans grandifiora
(Japanese Allspice), also known as Calycanthus precox grandiflora, is so sweetly scented that it would be welcomed by all even if it chose to add its flowers to the many joys we already have in Summer; how doubly, then, do we welcome its soft yellow flowers in the Winter-time, when nearly all else is resting; for at Christmas no flower is sweeter, and shoots that are gathered will go on blooming indoors for a long time in water, even in London. It should be given a warm sheltered corner—the best plant I have seen grew against a South-east wall, with a warm chimney
passing up behind it amongst dark evergreen creepers, so as to hide the
and it looks best when grown
naked limbs that bloom from November to March. It is easily raised in the Autumn from layers, and grows readily in a deep rich, sandy soil, requiring no attention beyond an annual thinning out of the shoots after they have done flowering.
Chotsya ternata
(Mewican Orange) is one of the most lovely ever- greens we have got; and if it is given a sheltered position against a South or West wall, and planted in a well-drained mixture of peat and loam, with a little leaf mould and sand added to it, the wealth of sweetly scented white starry flowers in July, seen
24 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
against the bright green foliage, will be magnificent, for the shrub grows to a height of quite 6 ft. Ripened cuttings will root readily in sand under a hand-glass, if they are inserted in Spring or early Sauna and given a little bottom heat.
Cistus ladaniferus
(Gum Costus) is a deciduous shrub that is literally weighed down with the most deliciously scented white flowers in June, which show up remarkably well against the dark green leaves. It should always be given a sheltered position, and in cold districts even the pro- tection of a South wall. A well-drained mixture of rich loam and leaf mould suits it best, and there it will grow to a height of 4 ft. There is a variety, maculatus, that has larger flowers and a blotch of red at the base of each petal; it grows about a foot taller than its
parent, and in warm weather quite scents the air all round it.
Clerodendron trichotomum
Is a deciduous shrub that is very handsome and quite hardy. In fact it is almost the only one of the genus that is, but it should be given a sunny corner and a fairly rich soil. It will grow to a height of quite 10 ft., and in September its white flowers will appear in terminal panicles in great profusion and scented like

honeysuckle. The effect of these seen against the large dark green heart-shaped leaves is lovely. Good plants are to be got either from inserting cuttings or ripened seed in the Spring in a bed with a little bottom heat.
Clethra alnifolia
(Pepper Bush) is just the sort of thing to have in front of a shrubbery. It does not grow more than 4 ft. high, and is a very neat little deciduous shrub, which from July to September will be a mass of white waving plumes of sweet-scented blossom. It is most happy when in a cool moist loam and sandy peat ; and if it is layered, or cuttings are inserted under a hand-glass in the Autumn, one will easily obtain young plants.
Clethra barbinervtis
(Pepper Bush), also known as C. canescens, likes the same sort of soil as the C. alnifolia, and can be increased in a similar way, but it is much larger, and will grow into a lovely tree 30 ft. high, and bear up- right racemes of white flowers in August and September sometimes a foot long.

Clethra paniculata
(Pepper Bush) is a lovely little deciduous shrub that will grow to a height of about 4 ft., and produce its feathery spikes of flowers from July to October, filling the air with a delicious fragrance. For soil and propagation v. C. alnifolia.
Colutea arborescens
Is the best variety of Colutea to have; but they are all straggling in their growth, and their real value lies in being fast growers in any soil or situation where most things will not grow. It will reach a height of 6ft., being in appearance something like an Acacia, and have its yellow flowers out from June to August. It is easily raised from seed or cuttings inserted in the Autumn in a sandy soil.
Cornus florida |
(Flowering Dogwood), whether seen in Spring, Summer, or Autumn, will always raise a throb of joy; for in April, just after its leaves have appeared, the glorious white flowers will shine out in dense heads amongst them; and one can well understand the feeling that helped to prompt Margaret Preston to write in Canada, where it is found in its native home:

‘Dog-wood stars the slopes are studding, ZATIG See
Blooms upon the purple budding Judas-tree.
Aspen tassels thick are dropping All about,
And the alder leaves are cropping Broader out ;
‘ Mouse-ear tufts the hawthorns sprinkle Edged with rose,
The dark bed of periwinkle Fresher grows,
Up and down are midges dancing On the grass,
How their gauzy wings are glancing As they pass!
‘What does all this haste and hurry Mean I pray,
All this out-door flush and flurry Seen to-day /
This presaging stir and humming, Chirp and cheer

allow itself to be passed by unseen with its leaves a blazing red. Cuttings, layers, or suckers put in in the Autumn will take root readily, and almost any soil will produce fine trees 20 ft. to 30 ft. in height, but it is a slow grower, and perhaps that is why it used to be taken as an emblem of ‘ duration.’
Cornus mas
(Cornel, or Cornelian Cherry) was dedicated to Apollo, and according to Pausanias, a festival called Cornus used to be held by the Greeks in Lacedemonia, in honour of that god in order to appease him for their having cut down a grove of Cornels consecrated to him on Mount Ida. It grows into an irregular headed tree, about 15 ft. high, and its little tufts of yellow flowers remain on the leafy shoots in profusion from February to April, and are very attractive. In mild winters it will even flower in January. The time for its fruit to appear is September and October, and that, too, is. quite lovely, a rich transparent red, like a Cornelian, from whence it got its name, and about the size of a nut. We do not see it as often in this country as one would like, but it should be given a sheltered spot where it will get plenty of sunshine, and in the Autumn the shoots can be layered, or cuttings taken to get new plants. It will even thrive in a town, and in any sort of soil that is not too poor.

Coronilly emerus
(Scorpion Senna) makes an excellent deciduous hedge about 8 ft. high. The time it is most beautiful is from April to June, when the golden flowers mingled with the red-tipped flower buds look remarkably well amongst the tender green of the young foliage. Plenty of sun and shelter and a dry soil is what is needed ; and it can be increased in the Spring by division, or later on from ripened seed or cuttings of the young shoots in a cold frame.
Corylopsis spicata
(Spicate Wych Hazel) is in leaf, flower, and appear- ance just like a hazel. A moist sandy soil is what it prefers, and there it can be raised from layers, and will grow to a height of about 4 ft., and bear pale yellow flowers, with a delicate scent like cowslips, in February before the leaves appear.
Corylus Avellana
(Common Hazel or Filbert) grows wild in our woods to a height of 20 ft., but if treated like a tree it will grow quite 30 ft. high, with a trunk a foot thick. As early as in February we get its crimson flowers, and in the autumn we are again charmed by the rich yellow of the changing leaves, and. still more so when

they are seen among evergreens such as the Yew, Box, or Holly. It can be raised from seed, suckers, or layers, and prefers a sunny spot with a good deep loam, but it is not at all particular, and will grow well in the shade, so long as it is not under the drip of

Cotoneaster frigtda
Is a sub-evergreen tree that will grow to a height of 30 ft. and bear numerous white flowers in April and May. In the Autumn it produces most beautiful scarlet fruit, as abundant as those on the Rowan, with the additional advantage that birds do not seem to care to eat them. It can be easily cultivated in ordinary garden soil, and raised in the Spring from seed, or in the Autumn by cuttings or layers, or by grafting it on to the Cotoneaster vulgaris, the common Quince, or the Hawthorn.
Cotoneaster microphylla
Grafted standard high on to the thorn, according to Loudon, forms a beautiful drooping evergreen tree, and it will cover a wall almost as quickly as ivy. Rambling over stones, rocks, grass, or hanging over walls, this evergreen trailer always looks well, and particularly so in April and May, when its small white
TREES AND SHRUBS. 31

Crategus Carter,
Growing to a height of 4 ft. with its June flowers born pure white and gradually acquiring a tinge of rose, is certainly one of the finest thorns in existence. Its flowers are larger than those of most thorns, and the large flat corymbs completely cover the tree: Its foliage, too, is a handsome dark glossy green, that in Autumn turns to a lovely shade of bronze. Few trees are so beautiful in a garden or shrubbery, and as much so from the lovely shape that they take, as from the abundance of their flowers in Spring and bright autumnal tints. As a hedge, too, they are very useful, and do well in almost any soil. ‘They can be budded or grafted on to the C. oxycantha.
Crataegus coccinea
(Scarlet-fruited Thorn) is in bloom at the end of May ; later than most thorns, and when a tree is full- grown to a height of about 20 ft., and its large flattened corymbs of white blossom are out, it is indeed a lovely sight. In addition to other attractions, in Autumn, its leaves become rich in yellow and scarlet before they drop off. For soil, &e., v. C. Carieri. |

Crategus oxycantha
(Hawthorn or White Thorn) is the commonest and most beautiful of all thorns, sometimes growing as tall as 20 ft. In many parts of the country it is still considered unlucky to pick any of it, and to bring any into a house is a sure forerunner of bad luck, because the fairies have their trysting places near thorn trees, and look upon them as their own property. The type has white flowers borne in May, but now every shade of colour can be got from crimson to pure white. For soul, &c.,/ v.':C.,Cariert; Some: on) thes West: vsonts are :—

(Pyracantha) is usually seen against a a wall, and being an evergreen that will grow rapidly on a north or east wall, and not only produce a quantity of white flowers in May, but also bear a mass of orange scarlet berries throughout the winter, it is one of the last things one would wish to spare from the garden. It will do remarkably well, too, in the open, becoming quite 9 ft. high, but its crop of fruit will not be so large in that position. Cuttings will root readily, and when grown in pots they are: admirable for house decoration. For

Cydonia japonica
(Japanese Quince) also known as Pyrus Japonica, is one of the most beautiful deciduous shrubs that flower during the early part of the year. When trained against a south wall, in which position we usually see it, it will often have begun to expand its blossoms in January, and will continue to do so till June. But it ‘an also be grown as a bush in the open, or as an ornamental hedge, in which position it is truly lovely when the whole length of it is one mass of bloom. It will grow to a height of about 6 ft., and the blossoms in the type are red, but there are several other kinds varying in shades of colour from white to intense crimson. It prefers a rich moist soil that is not too heavy, and can be grown from cuttings or layers. When grafted on to the Hawthorn or Common Quince, too, it can be trained into a lovely tree. Some of the best varieties are :—
Cydonia cardinalis, intense crimson in colour. Cydonia nivalis major, pure white.
Cydonia princeps, brilliant scarlet which makes a lovely picture when grown among such bushes as sweet-briars.

Cytisus albus
(White Broom), opens its white flowers in May, and at that season nothing is more charming, especially when it is seen poking out from a mass of low-growing evergreens, for it becomes quite 10 ft. high, and the rush-like shoots that hang over gracefully are one mass of blossom. Groups of it too on the lawn look very well, and it is particularly useful as a shrub that will grow where others will not, such as on dry sand-banks, for any soil or situation seems to suit it. It can easily be raised from seed or by layers.
Cytisus capitatus
Is a neat little low-growing bush about 3 ft. high, that produces its light yellow blossoms in great pro- fusion from June to August, and indeed often on into September. It will thrive in any soil or situation, and can be raised from seed or by layers.
Cytisus nigricans
Commences to bloom in June, and continues to do so until September. It is a shrub about 4 ft. high, whose numerous branches are terminated by erect spikes of clear yellow flowers 6 to 8 in. long, of quite a different shade from any other broom in flower at the same time; but it should be frequently topped

Dabecia polifolia
(St. Daboec’s Heath), syn. Menziesia polifolia, is a very pretty little shrub 2 ft. high, much in habit like the Heaths, but with larger waxlike bells. From June to September any bank or rockwork will be made quite brilliant by its white, rose, or purple flowers, and so, too, any shrubberies when it is grown in the front of them. It prefers a soil that is a mixture of two parts sandy peat to one of loam, but it will grow anywhere except in chalk or limestone, and can be increased in the Autumn by layers or cuttings under a hand-light.
Daphne B lagayana
Is a hardy little evergreen, 6 in. to 12 in, high, that produces its sweetly scented little white flowers in

dense clusters for several weeks in April. It is well suited to the rock garden, and grows well in any well- drained soil. It can be. easily increased by layering the shoots in Spring.
Daphne Cneorum
(Garland Flower) is an evergreen trailing shrub, not more than a foot high, which, when in bloom, is most attractive. The flowers are of a lovely shade of pink, and appear at the end of the rather straggling shoots twice a year, in April and September. It is quite hardy, but should be treated and raised like the Daphne Mezereum, q.v.

her: for every one knows the legend, how she flew from the continued advances of her lover, and finding that she was being overtaken, prayed to the gods for help, who turned her into this lovely little shrub, so that she might make good her escape. It can be raised from cuttings or layers, and will do in any soil, though a moist and fairly rich one seems to suit it best; but it must have plenty of sunshine, and even then it grows but slowly, and never reaches a height of more than about 4ft. It is most effective when grown in a mass, and in January, February, and March, before the leaves appear, it is covered with blossom, the colour of which in the ease of the common kind is mauve, but there are other varieties, the following of which are good :—
Daphne Mezereum alba, having white flowers.
Daphne Mezereum autumnals, producing its purple flowers in October, November, and December.
Daphne Mexereum grandiflora, one of the finest varieties in existence, bearing larger flowers and very fragrant, about 1 in. across.
Daphne pontica
Is a very useful evergreen shrub for growing under the drip of trees. It prefers the shade, and will reach a height of 5ft. in any good garden soil. Its flowers

appear in April and May, greenish yellow in colour and very sweet scented, but only so at night. For propa- gation v. Daphne collina.
Desfontanea spinosa
_ Is an evergreen in appearance something like a very beautiful little holly about 3 ft. high; and it is unfortunate that it is only in the warmest spots in the South that it can be grown; for where it is at home, its scarlet tubular flowers tinged with yellow appear in masses in August and produce a lovely effect. It is easily grown in a loamy soil, and can be raised in peat or loam mixed with sand from cuttings.
Deutzia crenata
(Also known as D. Fortune: or D. scabra) is a most beautiful deciduous shrub, that will grow in any soil or position to a height of about 6 ft. It is one of our hardiest dwarf white flowering shrubs, and in June will produce its lovely racemes of flowers which have the appearance of so many white pendant bells. It can be increased in the Spring by cuttings.
Deutzia crenata flore pleno (Double-flowering Deutzia), like its parent, is not at all particular in its wants, but if grown in a light,

It does best against a wall, even with a North aspect, or hanging over a porch, but can perfectly well be planted out anywhere in a sheltered spot. I have read of a hedge of it grow- ing quite unprotected at Bannockburn, in Stirlingshire, and exposed to the North and East. It should, how- ever, never be crowded up, or all the beauty of its drooping catkins would be concealed. It will reach a height of about 10 ft. in any fairly dry soil, though a sandy loam is what it prefers ; and to raise it, seeds or half-ripened cuttings should be inserted in that kind of soil, and kept shaded until they have struck.

There it will grow into a dense spreading mass of golden blossom not more than a foot high, and last throughout the Summer. Even the smoke in the neighbourhood of large towns will not mjure it, and it can be easily raised by layers or from seed.
Genista precox
Never grows higher than 2 ft. or 3 ft., but among shrubs of that height it is one of the most charming in flower in May, growing into a dense spreading bush, completely covered by racemes of clear sulphur coloured blossoms. It will grow readily in any soil or position; and can easily be raised from seed or by layers, and it looks remarkably well when grafted on to a stem of Laburnum after the manner of a standard

But its foliage will vary according to the position it is in. If in a dry, sunny spot, the leaves will be quite silvery, whereas in a moist one in the shade they will be much ereener. Its slender branches arch very gracefully, and for a great part of their length in May, June, and July, they are profusely studded with rosy purple pear-shaped flowers. It looks very well gratted as a standard on to a Laburnum, but in chalky soil it is best to graft it on to the Caragana arborescens. Seeds,

(Tree-like Wych Hazel) is the best Hamamels for a garden, and grows into a small, curiously-shaped, rather straggling deciduous tree about 20 ft. high, whose short leafless branches throughout the Winter are covered with masses of clustering golden yellow flowers. It looks best when grouped, especially among such things as Heath; and prefers a sunny spot where the soil is sandy and a little moist. It does best when grafted on to the young seedlings of the Hamamelis
virginica in March.

Fiibiscus syriacus
(Syrian Mallow), also known as Althea frutex (Rose of Sharon), will thrive in nearly every kind of soil, but in a rich one it will do best, and reach a height of quite 10ft.; and if the position is open and sunny it will flower freely throughout August and September. There are many varieties of this deciduous shrub, among the best of which :
alba plena has double flowers, white with a blotch of magenta at their base :
celeste has single flowers, blue, blotched, and streaked with crimson :
Duchess Brabant has double flowers, white streaked with lilac ;
rosea plena has double red flowers :
totus albus has large pure white single flowers.
They are best increased by grafting them on to a piece of the root.
Hippophe rhamnoides
(Sea Buckthorn) is a deciduous shrub about 12 ft. high, with a loose growth and silvery willow-like leaves, that is not only beautiful in April, when its yellow flowers are out. but again in the Autumn. on account of

its orange berries. Care, however, must be taken to place a male and a female near one another, as the plant is dicecious. The sort of place that suits it best is by the side of lakes or streams in a deep moist soil, but it is perfectly happy in any soil, except clay and peat, and is a capital shrub to plant by the sea. It can be raised from seed, or by layers, suckers, and cuttings of the roots.
Hydrangea hortensts
Is a deciduous shrub about 3 ft. high that can be grown in many varieties of colours. The blue variety, which most people try to get, is generally produced by some peculiarity in the soil and situation in which it is grown, but if the plant is in a strong loam, this can often be procured by watering plentifully with soap- suds. The branches should in all cases be well cut in after the flowering is over: and it must have an open and sunny spot, that is fairly well sheltered, to enable the wood to ripen thoroughly. The soil should be good and well drained, for it needs plenty of water, and at the same time should not stand in it. The best way to in- crease it is by division of old well-established plants, or by inserting cuttings of the half-ripened wood in sandy loam, and giving them the aid of a little bottom heat.

Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora
Is a mass of white flowers from July to October, and is the hardiest of all the Japanese Hydrangeas. It should be cut down annually, and well mulched and watered in summer, if the weather is very dry. In other respects it should be treated as HZ. hortensis.
Hypericum calycinum
(St. John’s Wort ; or Aaron's Beard), is almost ever- green, and though only 1 ft. high is one of the hand- somest and most showy shrubs in bloom in July and August. It is easily cultivated in almost any ordinary garden soil, but it seems to prefer a sandy loam, and there can easily be grown from seeds or cuttings.
Hypericum Mosertanum
Will practically flower from July to the end‘of the year: and its deep golden yellow blossoms, seen among lilies, or clothing the ground under taller growing shrubs, form simply a glorious picture. It will attain a height of 3 ft., and form a dense spreading bush in any garden soil, but preferably a sandy one, and though it likes the sun it is not at all particular in that respect. It can easily be grown from seed or cuttings, and will be most grateful for a Winter top-dressing.

Fasminum nudiflorum
(Winter Flowering Jasmine) is so welcome to us all through the Winter that it is hard to find words to praise it sufficiently; for then is the time that its charming star-shaped yellow flowers appear in golden masses ; but its shoots being at that time leafless, it is best grown against some dark-leaved evergreen creeper or mixed with Jasminum revolutum. When planted in good soil it will not require any attention beyond an occasional thinning out, and though it will grow in any situation, a sunny corner is where it is really happy. August is the month in which to raise new plants from layers or cuttings struck in light soil.
Fasminum officinale
(Common White Jasmine) is the well-known hardy climber that will thrive in any fairly good garden soil, and soon cover a wall 20 ft. high. Its flowers are white and deliciously scented—appearing from June to September, during which time the air is scented many yards away. There is a charming love legend connected with it. In 1699 a Grand Duke of Tuscany had a plant of this Jasmine, which he was so proud of that he would not allow it to be increased. His gardener, however, was in love with a peasant girl, and on her birthday gave her a sprig of it. This she planted as a memorial. of his

affection, and it grew into such a charming shrub that she was able to sell cuttings to every one who saw it. In this way she got enough money to marry her lover ; and now in Tuscany there is a saying that she, who is worthy to wear a nosegay of Jasmine, is as good as a fortune to her husband. ‘They are easily raised from cuttings.
Fasminum revolutum
Is an evergreen climber that is well worthy of a place on a sunny wall. It produces its sweetly scented yellow flowers from May to October, and will soon cover a wall many feet high. It increases readily from cuttings, and will do well in any fairly good garden soil.
Kalmia angustifolia
(Mountain Laurel) is a most lovely evergreen, and in June, when its clusters of pink flowers are out and its shining laurel leaves in their full glory, it is indeed a joy. It never grows more than 3 ft. high, and prefers to lie quietly in the shade in a peaty bed, where there is plenty of moisture for its thirsty roots. It cannot be grown within the fog radius, and to increase it, it is best to layer the shoots or to take cuttings after it has done flowering, and insert them in a mixture of peat and sand under a hand-glass in the shade.

Kalmia latifolia
(Calico Bush), the finest of all these beautiful ever- ereens, though a slow grower, will sometimes reach a height of 10 ft.

For soil, situation, Xe., v. A. angustifolia.
Kerria japonica
(Jews Mallow) is not as often seen as the double variety, flore pleno, and yet it has a greater wealth of blossom, and is more graceful in its style of growth. Its flowers are like buttercups. and are to be seen studding the whole length of its numerous slender branches, which when cut make delightful sprays. Indeed, both of these varieties are among the most beautiful yellow flowering shrubs in bloom from April to June. They prefer a fairly moist soil, and a warm situation, but can also be grown on a north wall in

The single form is a low spread- ing deciduous bush, about 4 ft. high, whereas the double variety, flore pleno, is more erect, reaching a height of 6 ft.. and its flowers are like yellow rosettes. They can be grown quite easily in the Autumn from their suckers and from cuttings; the plants can also be divided or layered.
Kerria japonica flore pleno

Koelreuteria paniculata
Is a deciduous tree that will grow to a height ot about 15 ft., and is worth planting for the sake of the brightness of its leaves in the Spring and their glorious Autumn tints, as well as for the clusters ofsmall yellow flowers which appear in June and July in long branching panicles above them. [t will thrive in any well-drained soil, and can be grown in the Spring from cuttings of the young shoots or in the early Autumn by layers.
Laburnum vulgare
(Common Laburnum) will thrive in almost any soil, and is to be seen in many varieties throughout the country, raining its golden blossoms upon us from April to June. The species are easily grown from
60 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
seed, and the varieties are best grafted or budded on to the common sorts. They will grow to a_height of about 20 ft.
Among the best varieties—
Laburnum Waterert has longer and brighter flower spikes.
Laburnum pendulum (Scotch Laburnum) has graceful weeping branches, and its flowers appear later and finer than those of the common sort. When grown in connection with purple beeches or the Prunus Pissardu, the effect made by the contrast of colour is lovely.
Ledum latifolium
(Broad-leaved Labrador Tea) only grows to a height of about 3 ft., but it is a handsome little ever- green, with white flowers in bioom upon it in April and May. A well-drained mixture of peat, sand, and leaf mould is what suits it best, and one should raise it from layers in the Autumn, or by division im a similar soil.
Leycesterta formosa
(Himalayan Honeysuckle) is a deciduous shrub that should be grown against a wall in any fairly good garden soil, but a sandy peat is the one it prefers, and there it will reach a height of about 6 ft., and from

Ligustrum japonicum
(Japanese Privet) is an evergreen that will grow well anywhere, whether in a smoky town or under the drip of trees; and also in any soil, though it prefers a good strong loam where it can have plenty cf moisture; and there will grow quite 8 ft. high, and in June have its slightly fragrant white flowers out in
bloom.
Ligustrum lucidum
(Shining Privet) is rather larger than the Ligustrum japonicum, and will grow to a height of about 12 ft. September is the time to see it in full bloom, and then its spreading panicles of white flowers show up very well against the shining evergreen leaves. For soil,

L. japonicum, but it is a much larger shrub than that one, and will grow to a height of quite 18 ft.
Lirtodendron tulipifera
(Tulip Tree) is a magnificent tree, growing to a height of 100 ft., in appearance very much like a plane whose leaves have had the ends cut off In June it is quite lovely with its mass of large solitary sweet- scented flowers, a mixture of green, yellow, and orange. A sheltered, but not shady, spot suits it best, and it should be given a good deep loam. ‘To increase it, seeds should be sown during the Autumn in a fairly moist sandy loam, and placed in the shade.
Lontwera brachypoda
Also called L. flexuosa, was imported from Japan at the beginning of the last century. It is a deciduous climber that grows about 7 ft. high, and bears very fragrant yellow flowers in June and July; but the variety L. f. aurea reticulata is much more worth growing on account of the beautiful foliage, which is variegated with yellow, and in autumn with a mixture
TREES AND SHRUBS. 63
of red. It looks remarkably well when grown over a porch or bower, as Shakespeare describes it :—
‘And bid her steal into the pleached bower, Where Honeysuckles, ripened by the sun, Forbid the sun to enter; like favourites Made proud by princes, that advanced their pride Against the power that bred it.’
It is readily increased by layers, cuttings, or seeds, and can be grown in any good garden soil.
Loncera Caprifolium
(Goat's Leaf Honeysuckle) is a deciduous twining shrub that produces its deliciously scented yellowish flowers in May and June. It will reach a height of about 7 ft. in any good garden soil, and is especially noticeable on account of its foliage, which entirely surrounds the stem of the flower and is of a very charming glaucous shade.
Loniwera fragrantissima
Is an erect growing evergreen honeysuckle that will often produce its white flowers in Mid-winter, but more generally in February. ‘These are as large as a halfpenny, and very sweet. It is usually grown against a wall or trellis, but it can perfectly well be grown as a bush in

(Bush Honeysuckle), syn. for LL. involucrata, never grows more than about 3 ft. high, but it is a lovely shrub to grow on a lawn, with a wide-spreading head, that is covered in June with yellow flowers that are tinged with red. Any good soil will suit it, and it is easily grown from cuttings or layers.
Magnolia conspicua
(Yulan Magnolia) is sometimes in flower in February, and will last in bloom till May. Who
TREES AND SHRUBS. 65
does not know the large pure white blossoms, shaped like inverted _ bells, ringing-in_ the Springtime as_ it were, wherever they can find room on the tree to open their lovely throats? Even the smoke of towns cannot silence them or diminish their dainty scent. Grown agamst a wall which has already some dark-coloured evergreen upon it is the best way to see it, for its blossoms need to be protected trom the angry blasts of Spring, and its leaves do not appear until the last flower has sounded its joyous note. March is the best month in which to transplant it, but after this has been done the wood must never be allowed to get too dry, and the scorching sun and dry winds must be kept away until it is well settled in its new home. Where it finds a fairly rich and open soil it will grow to a height of about 50 ft. Ripe seed when sown should be kept moist and in a close frame, in which way. too, layers will be found to strike root.
Magnolia glauca
Is known as the Sweet Bay of Hast United States. It grows there in marshy places, and, with us too, it seems to do best in a moist peaty soil, but it is strangely capricious. and will not always do well; however. where it does thrive, it makes a very pretty tree about 14 ft. high. with glossy green leaves that

only leave the tree bare for a very’ short time in the year: and from May to July we have the advantage of its globular blossoms, which are quite white when they open but turn yellow before they drop, and their scent is delicious. As with the Magnolia conspicua, q.v., they can be raised from seed or by layers.
Magnolia grandifiora.
July and August are the months that bring us the large white blossoms we know so well; and one can then easily feel with Longfellow, as he sang in ‘Evangeline ’ :—
‘Faint was the air with the odorous breath ot
magnolia blossoms.’
In the open it will grow into a tree quite 70 ft. high, but it is against a house that it will look its best, and cover a large space of wall. There is a strange, irresistible charm, to my mind, about an old Magnolia growing against a house, especially against a white one. It can be raised in the same way as the Magnolia con- spicua, and will readily draw its nourishment from the same soil that makes that tree happy.
Magnolia stellata.
The beautiful pure white blossoms of this delicious shrub are given to us at the same time of year as
TREES AND SHRUBS. 67
those of the Yulan (4M. conspicua), and it should be treated in the same way as that tree as regards position, soil, and propagation. It is quite leafless when the flowers are out, but these, though smaller than those of the Yulan, are so numerous that they completely conceal its nakedness. It never grows very tall, only about 7 ft., and in rather a spreading way, so it is suitable for the smallest garden, and none who have once seen it in bloom will rest until they have secured a plant for themselves.

It is a handsome tree, about 20-ft. high, that is allied to the Hawthorns, and quite worth isolating on a lawn, if it can be given ample room to spread its branches. Its flowers appear
68 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
in May in small white clusters, about as large as a halfpenny. In ordinary soil it does best when budded or grafted on to the Pear; but if the soil is wet, on to the Quince; and with light soil on to the White Thorn; or it can be grown from seeds as soon as they
are ripe.
Myrtus communis
(Myrtle) is an evergreen that is perfectly hardy in the South of England; and can be trained to grow, in some cases, to a height of 10 ft. Homer tells us that this plant was dedicated to Venus, after Myrsine, the most beautiful virgm in Athens, had been changed into it to save her from all the persecutions she had to put up with on account of her beauty. The myrtle. in consequence, is known as the emblem of purity. It bears white flowers in July, which are scented, like the leaves, in a most delicious way. It is easily grown under glass from cuttings, and will do well in a sandy loam to which some leaf soil has been added; but it is absolutely necessary to give it plenty of water and constant syringings in Summer, for the roots should never be allowed to get dry.
N. otospartium Carmichachlle
(New Zealand Pink Broom) is a lovely plant, not only in June and July, when bright, rosy pink pear-

shaped flowers adorn the points of its shoots in crowded clusters, but also at all times of the year; for the graceful curves of its leafless branches can never fail to attract. A peaty soil is what it likes best, but it can be grown in a turfy loam; and young cuttings that have been placed under a hand-glass will root readily and grow into plants quite 20 ft. high, which will even flower abundantly when only a few feet out of the ground.

Olea ilicifolia,
Also known as Osmanthus tlicifolius, when in bloom in October, will cast its delicious scent for many yards around, but the flower is not very conspicuous, being of a greenish white colour. It is an evergreen that is neat in habit, with dark green shiny leaves, and will grow to a height of 10 ft., and as much through when planted in sandy soil. It is best increased by grafting it on to stems of privet. but 1t can also be raised from seed.
Olearia Gunniana
(Dasy Tree), syn. for Hurybha Gunniana, will thrive anywhere with slight Winter protection, or if grown against a sunny wall; and in the South it is perfectly hardy. It will grow into a deciduous bush 5 ft. high, with small green dentated leaves that in September are completely covered with a mass of Daisy-like flowers as large as shillings. They will do well in almost any sort of soil; and are propagated easily by inserting cuttings of shoots, that are only half ripe, in sandy soil under a shaded hand-light.
Olearta Haasti
(Daisy Tree), grows into a dense evergreen, about 4 ft. high, that in August is a perfect picture, being completely covered with beautiful clusters of white

It is easily grown in almost any soil, and should be grown everywhere, for it is perfectly happy even by the sea, or in smoky towns. For propagation v. O Gunniana.
Olearia macrodonta
(Daisy Tree) is of much larger growth than other Olearia ; with age it will become, in any soil, a deciduous tree quite 20 ft. high, and have a trunk 24 ft. thick: It has rather a flat top and large musk- scented silvery leaves, in appearance like those on a holly, which will be completely covered in August with white starry blossoms. For propagation v. O. Gunniana.

The white cup-shaped flowers appear in June and July at the ends of the branches, in clusters of slender racemes, that are some of them quite 10 inches long. It can be raised from seeds that have been imported from the United States.

Ponta arborea
(Tree Peony). ‘The Peony. even from earliest times, has been connected with legends of all kinds. It was with this flower that Homer tells us that Peon, the celebrated physician, cured Phito of the wound he had received from Hercules.. There is also an old superstition that the Pony had the power of shining in the dark, and protecting any house it grew near against the evil spirits of the night. The P. arborea is certainly a lovely shrub, and hard to beat in May and June, when its large and beautiful blooms appear in masses like so many huge roses all over the shrub. It prefers a fairly dry soil, but the roots would be benefited by a certain amount of manure, and the early morning sun should not be allowed to get at them while the frost is still upon them. Among the best varieties are—
Beauté de Canton, with large lilac flowers.
Biou de Chusan, with white semi-double flowers.
Bijou de Lactea, with white flowers.
Lowse Monchilet, with rose-pink flowers.
Madame de Vatry, with rose-pink flowers.

Pernettya mucronata
(Prickly Heath) is an evergreen about 6 ft. high, with quite small, shining, dark green leaves, that look remarkably neat all through the year. In May, June, and July, we have its white drooping flowers, and in November its berries. It will grow in any soil, except where there is lime present; and new plants are best got trom layers or division.
Persica vulgaris
Also known as Prunus Persica (Peach), will grow to a height of 15ft., in any good garden soil. There are many lovely varieties of this charming tree, some with variegated and purple leaves, others with double flowers, and nothing can excel their beauty when the pink blossoms are in full bloom in April. It should

be given a warm and sheltered spot where the cold winds will not injure the flowers. It is best increased by budding or grafting.
Philadelphus coronartus
(Moch Orange), commonly and wrongly known as syringd, is a quick and weedy grower. but should be planted in every garden on account of the delicious scent of the flowers: not. however. too near the house, for it is overpoweringly strong. ‘They appear in May, and it will be found a good plan to cut back the branches after they have done flowering: this will keep the shrub more together, and ensure a better bloom the next year. It is deciduous, and will grow to .a height of 10 ft. in any fairly good soil. being best raised in the Spring under a glass, in a little heat, from cuttings. A variety called—
P. c. folis aureis should be planted where it is fairly shady, or the sun will spoil the beautiful rich golden colour of its foliage, and if it has some dark evergreen or the Prunus Pissardi behind it, its beauty will be much increased. .
The following varieties, too, are worth growing as well, for, although much like P. coronarius, they bloom at different seasons :—
P. Gordonianus, with creamy white scentless flowers in July, height 10 ft.

P. speciosus, syn. tor P. grandiflorius.
Philadelphus microphyllus
Is a dense little deciduous shrub, not more than 3 ft. high, that should be given a warm corner, but never a crowded one, as it requires plenty of sun and light. A fairly rich and open loam, mixed with some leat soil, is the best bed for it, and where it is happy it will produce masses of white fragrant blossom from June to August.
Phillyrea Vilmoriniana,
Syn. for P. laurifolia, is an evergreen that will produce its clusters of white sweet-scented flowers in the axils of the leaves during the month of May. and following these come small plum-like drupes. This is the hardiest of the Phillyreas, but even for this one, in the colder parts of England, a very shel- tered spot will have to be chosen. It will grow to a height of 10 ft. if raised from cuttings or grafted on to the Privet, in almost any soil.

Piptanthus Nepalensis
Known as the evergreen Laburnum, bears quan- tities of large yellow flowers in May. It will grow to a height of 10 ft., and has curious slightly hairy foliage. It grown in exposed parts it should be protected by a wall ina rich sandy loam. It can be raised from seed, or by inserting cuttings of ripened shoots under a hand-light, and may also be layered.
Prunus angustifolia
In April is covered with masses of white flowers, before its leaves are out, and it is then one of the prettiest trees in the garden, being pendulous and graceful in form, and about 15 ft. high. It will thrive in any good garden soil, if the subsoil is well drained : and can be increased by budding and grafting.
Prunus californica
(Cahfornan Plim), more often known as Nuttalia cerasiformis, is an extremely pretty, dense - growing

Prunus sinensis rosea plena
(Chinese Plum) is quite one of the best of the genus, and though the young growth is sometimes affected by late Spring frosts, it is otherwise quite hardy, and will grow in ordinary garden soil in any aspect except a North one. Its double rose-coloured Howers continue to bloom for a considerable time in March and April, and when grown as a shrub it can be raised in the Spring from cuttings of fairly firm shoots, and will attain a height of about 5 ft.; but it looks best when seen grafted as a standard.
Prunus triloba flore pleno
(Rosette Plum) is a slender and most graceful de- ciduous shrub about 6 ft. high, that is quite hardy and a vigorous grower. It looks well either as a standard on the lawn, or in clumps of about half'a dozen together ; but best of all when grown against a South wall, which it will quickly cover to a height of 10 ft. Its double rosette-like blossoms, in various shades of delicate pink. are out for a fortnight in April, generally before the leaves appear; and few shrubs can surpass it for beauty at that time. It is best grown from layers or suckers ; and as long as the subsoil is open and well drained, it will thrive in any ordinary garden soil.

(Mountain Ash), the Rowan Tree, as it is gener- ally called, was so named from the Scandinavian word ‘runa, meaning ‘charm; this is not to be wondered at, for, as some poet sings :
‘The mountain ash No eye can overlook, when ‘mid a grove Of yet untaded trees she lifts her head Decked with Autumnal berries, that outshine Spring’s richest blossoms.’
Around this tree is much ancient mythology centred : sprays of its leaves and branches were hung from the beams of houses and cattle sheds to keep off the evil spirits, and people who slept beneath the Rowan were considered to be safe from all the evil spirits of the night.
It is the favourite home of the Missel Thrush ; and. indeed, a lovely tree, that looks equally well by the banks of a wild Scotch burn or in a trim garden. Neat in appearance, about 30 ft. high, it will completely transform any spot in the Autumn by its heavy bunches of scarlet berries, which in sunshine glow with an in- describable warmth. It is deciduous, and will grow quickly in any soil, its white flowers appearing in May and June, but these are not as effective as the Autumn berries.

Pyrus baccata
(Siberian Crab) whether grown in a group, or singly. where its graceful spreading shape can be seen to full advantage, always stands out as one of the most beautiful crabs in existence. Indeed, at the end of April and early in May, when it is covered with white flowers, no tree can surpass it; while again in Autumn its fruits are a blaze of brilliant red. Where it has a good depth of fairly rich loam, it will attain a height of 20 ft., provided the subsoil is well drained. It does best when budded or grafted on to the Apple or Pear.
Pyrus B otryapium
Syn. for Amelanchier canadensis, q.v.
Pyrus coronaria
(American Sweet-scented Crab) used to be grown much more than it is now; but it is well worth plant- ing, as it grows pretty rapidly into a picturesque tree about 30 ft. high, with a loose head that is quite lovely in May, when its large single pale pink flowers, de- liciously scented like violets, are in full blossom. For soil, &e., v. EF. baccata.

Pyrus floribunda
(Japanese Crab) makes a pretty, graceful, half- drooping tree about 12 ft. high, that has large semi- double flowers, which when in the bud stage are of a rich crimson colour, but get gradually pink as they expand, and cluster along the entire length of the shoots in May. <A group of these on the outskirts of a lawn, or a single specimen isolated on the grass, is quite 2 joy. — For soil;&c., v. P. baccata.
The following varieties are all worth growing :—
P. f. atro-sanguinea, with a darker shade of flower.
P. Parkmanni flore pleno, syn. for P. Halleana, with ruby coloured foliage.
P. f. Scheideckern, the richest of all in colour.
Pyrus matlus
(Apple Tree), as an ornamental tree, is not grown as much as it might be, for in May, when it is in bloom, nothing can surpass it. The varieties are far too nume- rous to attempt to name, but one of the best is called Hanwell’s Souring, bearing the most beautiful blossom of any apple, pink and quite unaffected by late frosts. It is not particular as to soil, but it certainly does best in a rich, well-drained loam, with a South, South-east, or South-west aspect, sheltered from the North-east,
84 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
South, and South-west winds. It is the home of the copper-coloured chaftinch, and figures in many of the ancient mythologies as possessing various powers for good. With the Scandinavians, it was the goddess Iduna who had the care of the apples which would confer immortality upon all who ate them; and she used to keep them for the gods to eat when they found themselves growing old.
Pyrus Maulei
Is one of the most beautiful flowering shrubs we possess, and somewhat resembles the P. japonica, though its branches are more slender, and its leaves and flowers smaller. The latter are of a vivid orange- scarlet colour, and appear in masses on every” branch in April. ‘Then again, the effect in Autumn of the golden fruit, which remains on the shrub until the leaves drop off, is truly delightful. It would make a capital hedge where one wanted a low one, for it does not grow more than 3 ft. high. For soil and propaga- tion, v. P. baccata.
Pyrus spectabilis flore pleno
Should either be planted by itself, or grouped with the P. floribunda on the grass ; and no more beautiful effect can be imagined than that of a clear blue

(Torigo Crab), in May, is to be found about 5 ft. high, with its leafless boughs quite covered with small dainty pink flowers; and after these have gone we still have the joy of the thick clusters of tiny fruits.

Rhododendron
(Rose Bay) is an evergreen that is too widely known to need much description: as for many years past it certainly has reigned supreme in gardens of all sorts. in many cases completely ousting all other flowering shrubs. When grown on the lawn as a standard it is quite seen at its best: and it is a lovely plant if it is not allowed to straggle too much, for then it becomes bare at the base. Undoubtedly the best soil for it is peat, but, if this is unobtainable, a compost of leaf soil and sandy loam mixed with dry cow manure will suit it very well. It has only two enemies that really get the better of it, and those are lime and chalk. A bed should always be prepared before planting, from 2 ft. to 24 ft. deep. Few shrubs transplant so readily, and
86 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
this is best done in the Spring. Propagation is easily effected from seeds, cuttings, and layers, by grafting, budding, or inarching. ‘The following are some of the best of a great number of different varieties :—
R. californicum, 8 ft. high, with rose purple flowers, appearing in June.
R. catawhiense, 6 tt. high, with lilac purple flowers, appearing in July.
R. caucasicum, 1 ft. high, whose flowers are rose with white centres, and appear in August.
R. cihatum, 2 ft. high, with pale reddish purple flowers, appearing in May.
R. Dahuricum, 6 ft. high, with bright red flowers, appearing in March.
hk. Farrere, 3 ft. high, with pale lilac rose flowers, appearing in March.
R. ferrugineum, 1 ft. high, whose flowers are scarlet with yellow spots, and appear in May, June, and July.
R. Fortunes, 12 ft., with pale rose flowers, appearing in May.
R. harsutum, 2 ft.. with pale red flowers, appearing in May, June, and July.
Rf. ponticum, 12 ft.. with purple flowers, appearing in May.
R. Rollisoni, 15 ft.. with blood-red flowers, appearing in April and May.
TREES AND SHRUBS. 87
Rhodotypos Kerrioides
(White Jews Mallow) is a shrub so closely allied to the Kerria that one might call it a white form of that lovely shrub. It is deciduous, and the white rose- like bloom remains out for a long time in April. It will grow in the open into a dense bush about 6 ft. high, but against a wall as high as 12 ft., and will thrive in any garden soil, either from the suckers by dividing or layering the plants, or by taking cuttings of them in the Autumn.
Rhus cotinus
(Swmach) is generally known as ‘'The Smoke Tree, and none can be surprised at the name when once they have seen the lovely flesh-coloured inflorescence of one of these beautiful deciduous shrubs in June and July. In the case of a variety named purpurea, this is darker and more purple. The flower itself is small and insig- nificant, and appears before the ‘smoke.’ It can be raised from cuttings or layers, and will grow to a height of 8 ft., and thrive even in the shade, or in poor sandy soils, where other things will not. In fact, it will do well anywhere, and to add to its other charms, its leaves turn a lovely colour in the Autumn. It is considered the emblem of ‘ Intellectual excellence.’ and probably
88 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
that accounts for its presence near the schoolhouse de- scribed by Whittier :— * Still sits the schoolhouse by the road, A ragged beggar sunning, Around it still the Sumachs grow, And Blackberry vines are running.’
Ribes aureum
(Golden Flowered Currant) will grow to a height of about 8 ft.. and be covered with a mass of golden yellow flowers in April and May, in whatever soil it is planted, though it seems to do best in gravel. It is deciduous, and can easily be raised from cuttings or layers.
Ribes sanguineum
(Red Flowering Currant) is a deciduous shrub about 8 ft. high, with deep rose-coloured flowers that appear in April, and last for about four weeks in bloom. It is the best of all flowering currants, and has a double variety. flore pleno, that blooms later. For soil and propagation, v. R. aureum. .
Robinia hispida (Rose Acacia) can be grown in any garden, large or small, as it rarely exceeds a height of 12 ft.; and
ROBINIA -HusPIpA:

TREES AND SHRUBS. 89
has a round head, from which hang the bunches of rose-pink flowers in May and June, that make a very charming effect against the young green leaves. <A good group of these look very well, but they should be given a sheltered spot as their stems are rather brittle. They can be increased by grafting on to the R. pseudacacia, and will do well anywhere, even in towns, in ordinary garden soil.
Robinia pseudacacta
(False Acacia; or Locust Tree) is a lovely tree, that. shows its flowers in April and May. As a rule the pendulous bunches are white, but there are a great number of varieties, from 30 to 60 ft. high, quite dif- ferent from one another, and sometimes the flowers are pink. Among these are—
angustifolia, which grows very gracefully ; -
Bessoniana, « compact growing tree ; pyramidaltis, of upright growth ;
tortuosa, with twisted limbs.
The best way to increase it is by layers, and it will grow in any soil, being particularly useful in a dry season, for, at a time when most other things in the garden seem to suffer from drought, this tree appears to be quite happy.
90 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
Rosa
(The Rose), in all its multitudinous forms, is a subject in itself, and it is impossible to attempt to touch upon it here: but there are many briars which might well be included in the shrubbery border, such as the Austrian briars and Lord Penzance’s new hybrids, which provide a succession of blooms for several weeks in the
summer, and
Rosa rubiginosa
(Sweet-briar), Eglantine. Who does not know and love this charming shrub! One cannot come within some distance of it, on a warm day, without noticing its presence by the exquisite perfume of its leaves. Few things are more charming than a hedge of it, and when its lovely pink single roses are in bloom it is a double joy. We find a charming picture, in Hawthorne’s ‘Scarlet Letter, of the sweet-briar bush that grew at the door of the gloomy New England jail, ‘the one bright object that met the eyes of the unhappy prisoner as she entered.’ Shelley also alludes
to it as— ‘The honey wine
Of the moon unfolded Eglantine. Which fairies catch in hyacinth bowls.’
It will do well in ordinary garden soil even in
TREES AND SHRUBS. 91
partial shade. The right time to plant is October or November or early Spring, and the soil should be first enriched with a little manure. Pains should be taken to give them plenty of water until they are well estab- lished, after which little care need be bestowed upon them. It will grow to a height of 5 ft., and can be increased by budding.
Rosa rugosa
(Japanese Rose) is a lovely deciduous shrub, that gives us its roses from June to August: it likes to be in a good rich soil where it will have plenty of morning sun, and then it will grow to a height of 4ft. There are several varieties, all of which can be raised by budding, and some of the best of them are :—
Rosa rugosa alba, with long pure white single flowers.
R. r. coruscans, with pink single flowers.
Rk. r. Mme. George Bruant, with white double flowers.
R. r. Comte d’ Epresmil, with semi-double purplish rose flowers. It is a good thing to prune them back a little in the Spring, as it helps them to make strong shoots.
92 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
Rubus deliciosus
(Rocky Mountain, or Himalayan Bramble) is the best of the flowering brambles, and differs from the R. nuthanus and R. odoratus in liking the warmest and sunniest spot in the garden; indeed, it does best against a South wall, but it will do quite well in the open, in almost any good garden soil, and develop into a shrub 4 ft. high, with graceful spreading habit. Plants grown trom seed or layers will do very well, and for the whole of the month of May we have the lovely white single flowers blooming upon them, like forerunners of the dog-rose, which they closely resemble.
Rubus nutkanus
(Nootha Bramble) blooms in August, and the racemes of pure white flowers. as big as five-shilling pleces, show up so well against its large vine-like leaves. It will thrive even in the shade of large trees, if their roots are not too hungry; or where there is but little and poor soil, but it prefers a moist soil, and if planted in this it will reach a height of quite 10 ft. For propagation v. R. deliciosis. -
Rubus odoratus (Sweet Virginian Raspberry) will grow into a dense upright shrub 8 ft. high, its shoots in one year often
TREES AND SHRUBS. 93
exceeding 5 ft. in length; so that it is as well to cut away the old wood. Clusters of dog-roses appear upon it from May to August, and their rich rosy purple colour is very effective against the background of leaves, often as large as those of the Plane tree. They very soon lose this, however, if they are grown in the sun, and fade away to white. For situation v. R. nuthanus, and BR. dehciosus for propagation.
Sophora japonica
(Japanese Pagoda Trec), syn. tor Styphnolobium japonicum, is a lovely deciduous tree, with dark green leaves. that will reach a height of 30 ft., in a well- drained sandy loam, and produce its large, loose panicles of small cream-coloured flowers in| August and September. It can most easily be grown from imported seed. A variety, pendula, is of weeping habit, and makes a charming little tree.
Spartium junceum
(Spanish Broom) should be grown so as to overtop other low-growing things, for it is rather leggy at the base, and old bushes are quite 10 ft. high, and droop most gracefully. Whether old or young, they are one mass of golden blossom trom July to September ; but it is as well to keep on raising new plants, for the old ones sometimes die down; and this is easily done under a hand-glass, from young cuttings or even from seeds.
4 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
Spir eas
Are all lovely, but many resemble one another so closely that it is almost impossible to distinguish them apart. Some of them will form lovely specimens when grown singly in the open, their gracefully drooping branches being completely wreathed in blossom, but most of them look best when grouped, either on the lawn or near a pond or stream. They are great lovers of water, doing well in places that most shrubs would find far too moist; but their roots should not become ice-bound in Winter. ‘They are deciduous shrubs, that will, however, thrive in almost any position, though a good mulch of manure will greatly assist them in dry places. and if cuttings of the young wood are inserted in sand under a shaded hand-glass they will strike readily.
Y e Spirea arguta Grows to a height of about 5 ft., but when barely a yard high its slender branches have already begun to arch over in a most graceful way, and in May are covered with clusters of pure white flowers.
Spirea ariefolia, Sometimes known as JS. discolor, is one of the most beautiful of all Sporwas, that should be grown as’ a

Spirea Thunberg1
Is a graceful little shrub about a yard high, that is best seen in a group; for it is not as showy as some of the Spirwas, but it is the first to flower, the small white blossoms appearing in April and May at the same
time as the leaves. v. Spirwa. H

Spir ea van Houttei
In May is the most beautiful of all shrubs then in flower; once seen growing on a bank, or as a specimen on a lawn, one will never forget it, for its gracefully drooping branches are completely hidden in soft cushioned masses of pure snow-white blossom. It is as a rule about 5 ft. high, though it will grow con- siderably taller. v. Spurca.
Stuartia pentagyna
(Coffee Bush), syn. tor Melachodendron ovatum, is a beautiful shrub with foliage rather like that of the Camellia gaponica, only of a much lighter green. The flowers appear in May, June, and July, and are quite lovely ; on the outside they are covered with silky hairs that have a purple colour, while within they are tinted with pure white. In a mixture of peat and loam, or in a sandy soil, where it can have plenty of moisture, it will grow to a height of 10 ft.; but it should be given the sunniest spot in the garden or the young wood will not ripen properly. One can get new plants from layers, or by inserting cuttings of the ripened wood in sand under a hand-glass.
Stuartia VIrginica
Is one of the most beautiful shrubs we have got that flower in April and May. It will grow to a

Styrax japonica
(Syn. for S. serrulata), with all its branches hung profusely with small pure white bells with yellow centres, 1s one of the most beautiful deciduous shrubs that flower in July. It is of dense growth, and in a light soil will reach a height of about 12 ft. It may be increased in the Spring or Autumn by layers, or cuttings, or seed imported from the South of France.
Styrax serrulata Syn. for Styrax japonica, q.v.
Syringa
(Lilac) is too well known to all to need description. A more beautiful effect than a group of it in a sunny spot on the grass in May, when its delicately scented flowers are in full glory, can scarcely be conceived ; but they should not be overcrowded. It will practically grow in any soil, though a deep loam is what it prefers, and it should always be grown on its own roots from layers; not grafted on to something else, as it is so often found in nurseries. Care should be taken to
100 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
prune it well, and to remove all the suckers. Lilacs can be mostly divided under three heads: S. vulgaris, S. chinenis, and sS. persica.
Syringa chinensis
(Chinese, or Rouen Lilac), syn. for S. dubia and S. rothomagensis, is an intermediate between JS. vulgaris and S. persica; and grows to a height of 4 ft. Its flowers vary a good deal in colour, but are mostly of an intense violet shade.
Syringa dubia

Syringa persica
(Persian Lilac) is quite different from the other varieties. It is erect in growth, about 5 ft. high, and bears small clusters of pale lilac flowers. A very pretty variety, with indented leaves, is called. S. p. daciniata.
Syringa vulgaris (Common Lilac) will vary in height from 8 ft. to
20 ft., and can be met with in red, blue, and white varieties—
S. v. alba plena, with double white flowers, about 15 ft. high.

Tamarix tetrandra
(Tamarisk) is a beautiful shrub that is quite in- dispensable by the seaside. It thrives under all con- ditions, wherever it is grown, and waves red feathery plumes of flowers from July to September. It does especially well on a warm rich soil, in a sheltered and sunny position ; and cuttings, inserted in sand under a hand-glass, will strike readily and grow to a height of 10 ft.
Ulex europaeus
(Common Furze, or Gorse) grows to a height of 4 ft., and it must be remembered will grow in many places which would otherwise be bare. Its flowering season is also very protracted, lasting through February and March, and again through August and September. In
02 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING ~-
fact it is hard to find any day of the year on which some flower is not to be seen upon some of it if there is any quantity of it about; so much so that it has given rise to the well-known saying: ‘when the gorse is out of flower, kissing’s out of season.’ ‘There is a double variety, flore pleno, which is most beautiful. It is best raised from seeds or cuttings.
Ulex germanica
Is a prostrate growing gorse that blooms in May, when its tiny golden flowers are to be seen in great profusion. For propagation, &c., v. Ulex nanus.
Ulex nanus
(Tam Furze) is a low growing gorse, with stems not more than 3 ft. high, and drooping branches that lie prostrate on the ground. It can be raised from seed or by cuttings; and does well in ordinary soil, forming an excellent evergreen shrub for rockeries, as it spreads quickly, and in November, wlten nearly every- thing else is in a state of rest, produces its bright golden blossom.
Veronica buxtifolia
(Speedwell) is a very neat little deciduous Box-like Speedwell, about 3 ft. high, that in June, when the sun catches it. one mass of small white flowers, is indeed
TREES AND SHRUBS. 103
beautiful. It can be easily grown from cuttings, pro- vided it has a dry bottom and a certain amount of shade.
Veronica Hulkeana
(Speedwell) when in bloom is one of the most charming little Speedwells we know of, for at the end of May the long lilac flower spikes rise up quite a foot from the shrub, which in itself is never more than 3 ft. high, and arch over gracefully with the weight of the blossoms, about the size of sixpences. It is a deciduous shrub that at no time has many leaves upon it, and its branches are few, but it is very well suited for the rock garden, as it likes an open and sunny spot. Cuttings will strike readily, and it will succeed in any good garden soil.
Feronica pinguifolia
(Speedwell) is a lovely little deciduous Speedwell, which is so completely covered with pure white flowers in June, that one might think there had been a fall of snow upon it, It will attain a height of 4 ft. if grown erectly, but it will also creep along the ground about 6 ins. high, and makes an excellent rock plant, for it is a neat little shrub amply provided with leathery glaucous leaves. Cuttings will strike readily, and it will succeed in any good garden soil.
104 CALENDAR OF FLOWERING
Veronica Traversu
(Speedwell) is certainly one of the best evergreens we possess, being capable of being pruned into any shape, and its box-like leaves give it always a neat appearance ; in addition to this it will grow in any ordinary garden soil, and even where the spray from the sea will reach it: it is easily struck from cuttings, and grows rapidly into a round-headed shrub about 4 ft. high, which, from July to September, is covered with beautiful pale mauve flowers.
Viburnum opulus
(Water Elder) is a charming deciduous shrub, that looks remarkably well by the side of a pond or running stream, especially in June and July, when its lovely white flowers, scented like the Hawthorn, are produced in abundance. It will grow to a height of 8 ft., in any soil that is not too full of lime; and suckers or layers put down in the Spring will strike under a bell glass, if it is partially shaded.
Viburnum opulus sterilis
(Guelder Rose, or Snowball Tree) is one of the most delightful deciduous shrubs in the garden. It grows to a height of about 8 ft. in a graceful, spreading way. with its branches literally bowed down with balls
TREES AND SHRUBS. 105
of white flowers in June; and, whether grown singly against a wall, or massed together in a bed, it will always be a joy to all. For propagation, &c., v. Viburnum opulus.
Viburnum plicatum
(Chinese Guelder Rose) is even more beautiful than the ordinary Guelder Rose, for its flowers are larger and more snow-white, making a lovely contrast to the dark green leaves behind them. It will grow to a height of about 6 ft., if it is in rather a warm spot and a fairly light soil. When grown against a wall it looks remarkably well.
Viburnum tinus
(Laurustinus), whether grown as a bush or hedge, is a joy throughout the Winter months, for, in addition to the evergreen nature of its leaves, it is also in flower throughout that time, producing its flat corymbs of white flowers in great profusion. It will reach a height of about 10 ft. in almost any soil, and though i some severe Winters it will be cut down, it will not be killed. Layers or cuttings of half-ripened shoots will strike under a hand-glass, if they are inserted in sand in a fairly shady spot. There is a variety called—
Viburnum tinus lucidum (Clear-leaved Laurustinus ) that produces its white flowers in April, and has larger leaves than the type.

YP eigela
(Syn. for Diervilla) is to be seen in many shades of colour; and, indeed, we cannot have too many of them in our gardens, whether in a town or in the country, for they are quite unsurpassable in the Summer, and also in the Autumn, when several of them have a second bloom. They should never be crowded up, but should be given an isolated position, where their full beauty cannot fail to be admired. If planted in the shade they will grow well in any ordinary garden soil, and vary from 6 to 10 ft. in height, being surrounded by branches that droop most grace- fully, and are attractive even in Winter when they have not a leaf upon them. They can be easily grown in either Spring or Autumn from cuttings or suckers; but they want a certain amount of attention paid to them every year, for the old wood should be cut out, and a top dressing given to them. Some of the best varieties are—
Weigela amabilis, sometimes called grandiflora, with its most ornamental varieties: Jsolinaw, white with a yellow blotch in the centre; Van Houttez, white and rose; and Striata, striped red and white.
Weigela candida, covered with white flowers in May, and keeping up a scattered bloom throughout the Summer.

Wistaria frutescens
(American Kidney Bean Tree). Who does not know this charming deciduous shrub with its dense racemes of flowers that are sometimes white, but may be any shade of purple, and hang in April and May from the almost leafless branches? It is usually seen against a wall or hanging over a trellis, but even grown as a standard in most parts of England it will do very well, and if its branches are supported, will make a most charming arbour. It can be increased in Summer by layers, and will thrive in any good soil that is not too heavy; but it must be given all the sunshine
possible.
Wistaria japonica

Wristaria sinensis
(Common Wistaria) does not flower till May and June, a little later than the W. frutescens, and when there is more foliage to show up the long racemes of pale purple flowers. It can be got, though, in any shade of purple, and even white. it is indeed the best Wistaria we know of in this country. For soil, Xc., v. W. frutesccns.
Xanthoceras sorbifolia
(Yellow Horn) will sometimes grow as high as 15 ft., and in July form one dense mass of flower spikes, something like those of a lilac, only erect in growth. Its blossoms are white with some streaks of blood at the base of the petals, and certainly no other deciduous shrub in flower this month is finer. It is best grown from seeds, and planted in a light soil.
Yucca gloriosa
(Adam's Needle), so unlike anything else in the garden, is a splendid fellow when he is old and his stem is about 6 ft. high, sometimes with and some- times without branches; and he stands there in a proud

defiant way with his great sword-like leaves a yard long, that never leave him all through the year. And then in July majestically he throws up his red-tinged flower spikes another 6 ft. in the air, and makes his annual inspection of the humbler subjects around him. A light but rich soil is what he likes, and young ones can be grown by inserting bits of the roots in sand with the aid of a little heat.

Forms a regular shaped, deciduous shrub about 4 ft. high, with branches arching over in a most charming way, from which in August hang the waxy white flowers, which have very much the appearance of Lilies of the Valley. It can either be grown from seed, or by layering the shoots; and it is happiest m peat, though it will do very well in any soil that 1s cool and fairly moist.
Zenobla speciosa
(Silvery Andromeda) is distinct from other varieties of Zenobia on account of its silvery foliage, which is so beautiful that it should be planted for that reason alone. In other respects it resembles the Z. pulverulenta, q.v.. except that its flowers will appear a little earlier-— in July.
