Home makers are coming to realize
moro than ever that the garden and
home grounds should be interesting
and attractive in the winter months
as we'll as In the summer, so that
they are disposed to select at least
a few trees and shrubs which will
serve this purpose. They like ever
greens for midwinter and trees and
shrubs which have handsome foliage
in the fall TO ornament the grounds
during the autumn months. An
evergreen hedge adds much to the
appearance Of any plot. In choos-
ing hedge plants there are several
things to be considered, one Of them
being the winter aspect. Among the
| materials suitable for evergreen
hedges, the heml0ck is one OF the
best, but white pine and arborvitae
are also in favor. One Of the very
finest shrubs for malaing All all
year hedge is the Japanese Yew,
Taxus cuspilata, but unfortunately
it is Il little high in price as yet, as
the stock is not very plentiful.
1t is not necessary, though to
have evergreen plants in order that
n hedge may be beautiful all through
the winter. The Japanese barbcrry
when we'll established carries great
quantities Of brilliant red berries
and holds them until growth starts
in the fall. Because of this and its
other advantages this barberry is
one Of the very best hedge plants
which can be used. especially for
suburban homes where Il tall hedge
is not needed. Perhaps it should be
said that this plant, which was in
troduced by the Arnold Arboretum
in Boston many years ago does not
harbor wheat rust like the
so-called common berberry, and
therefore can be planted safely in
any part Of the country. The COM
mon barberry has become an out
law. especially in wheat growing
sections, and should not be planted
under any circumstances, although
it is ornamental and hardy.

several species Of which have very
handsome red berries, and are
among the best Of the newer shrubs.
Several Of the native Viburnums
have pretty berries, and OF course
the High Bush Cranberry, which is
really Viburnum, has come to be
common occupant Of gardens, be-
ing treasured particularly for its
| bright red fruit Most people know
| the Winterberry. with its handsome
white fruit borne early in the fall,
but are less familiar with its near
relative, the Coralberry. This is
one Of the best of our native plants
for garden decoration, its pink fruit
being carried for long time and
proving most decorative. This shrub
should be used more often than II
| Is.
Among the handsomest Of all
shrubs for the fall is the Euony-
mus Dungeanus. The plants are
covered with little red fruit hanging
from pink capsules, and the effect
at distance Is so unusual that peo-
pie who see 1t for the first time often
suppose that the plant Is really in
bloom.
Even after very cold weather
comes you may still have color in
the garden by using the dogwoods
which have brightly colored wood,
either red or yellow.
or course this Is touching only
lightly on the various shrubs and
trees which may be set out now, and
includes some Of the newer species
with which the public Is not very
familiar and yet which deserve
good place In gardens everywhere.
1t would be good thing for general
results II home makers would study
their catalogs and Introduce enough
new things to break up the monotony
so often found in countryside plant
ing. The old fashioned Weigela, for
instance, Is handsome enough, but
the red lowered Eva Rathke Is a
great improvement. 1t is difficult
to find swceter shrub than the old
time syringa. Yet there are newer
sorts which are very much hand
somer, with their large. milk white
blossoms, even though they lack the
fragrance OF the mock orange.
SO with the lilacs. There are
dozens Of new varieties as we'll as
some species from China which are
we'll worth planting. Among the
