Practically
OfGardens
Increases
Ornamental Shrub
Can Also Be Used
AS Food Plant

New and different food plants
and their possibilities are brought
to the attention of the gardening
public frequently these days. One
native shrub that is ornamental and
can also be used as a food plant
is American cranberry bush, tech
nically known as Viburnum tri-
lobum. This strong-growing shrub
is closely related to the common
European cranberry bush Viburnum
opulus, and the double form of this
d-fashioned subject Is the we'll
known SNOWFALL.
These two shrubs, like many
other viburnums, bear handsome
white flowers In midspring which
produce large clusters of rather acid
red fruits in late summer. These
can be used as substitutes for cram
berries and make quite acceptable
jellies and sauces. Even If not
used for these purposes, the two
shrubs are very handsome in their
display of fruit, and this display
lasts through the fall Of the year
and until about Christmas.
These strong growing shrubs with
fruits like cranberries are easily
grown and in addition to the pos
sibilities of using their fruits for
food, they are well worth growing
for their nice foliage and brilliant
autumn coloring They are easy to
grow in almost any location.
Aphids often attack European
cranberry bushes badly in the
spring, but with a good spray as
soon as they leaf out. these pests
can be disposed of. The SNOWFALL
or double form does not bear fruits.
There is also a dwarf form, listed
in catalogues as Viburnum opulus
nanum, which is used considerably
as a low, formal plant. 1t Is true
dwarf shrub, growing very dense
and rarely over 3. feet high, and it
is one of the best deciduous edging
shrubs we have.
The viburnums are a large group
of shrubs and collection of them
is very interesting. They are not
exacting In their requirements and
every home garden can make good
use of some of them. There are
few evergreen forms and most of
these are not hardy in our climate,
but nearly all the others are per-
fectly hardy. There are two or
three double forms. Nurserymen
have these shrubs and they may be
propagated by plants or seeds.
