The fragrant bush honeysuckle does finely in such 8 place. The Towering raspberry grows in the greatest abun- dance wild in hollow and moderately da. D places in woods. Snowberry and red Indian currant bushes do nicely in shady places; so do common privets. Most all kinds of trailing honeysuckles thrive in the shade so far as growing we'll is concerned; so do trailing roses like Wichuraiana nitida and lucida grow in the shade.

Then there are mountain laurel, wild rhododendrons, blueberry and upland huckleberry bushes, maple leaved vibur- mum and lots of others.

The Black Crook" Will Begin It's
Engagement Tomorrow Night.
1t has often been said that he
who thoroughly succeeds in pleas
ing little children, has surely the
keynote to success as his. Nothing
amuses the little tots better, than
to see children Of their own size,
doing something clever, and in the
children's quadrille, there is dis
played quaintness that is exceed
ingly catchy. A production of "The
Black Crook" without it's Children's
ballet, would be like a wedding
without a bride and groom. In
the forthcoming presentation OF
this paragon Of spectacles, the
most beautiful effects are highly
colored by the presence of
the little folks. The ballets
are very enhancing, and
the large number of cOryphees en-
plOyed, clad in the most beautiful
OF dazzling costumes, makes it a
Voritable mardi-gras transferred
to the stage. The massive scenic
effects, are surely trophies Of the
artists brush. The European spec
1alties are worthy of special note.
The Brothers Rixford, in acrobat
ic feats, from the Circus Cisinelli,
st. Petersburg, Russia, and the
French Quadrille Dancers from
the Folies Bergeres, Paris, are
among the most prominent Of for
.eign impOrtations. Taking it all in
all "The Black Crook" is the most
important of this seasons kOok-
ing.
