Now available at this Newspaper Office (or from the address below) is our new Design Book entitled 'Sub- urban and Country Homes" GARDEN GUIDE There is a tendency nowa- days to grow shrubs that, while not completely hardy, will survive most winters without injury if given good soil condi- tions, favorable locations and some winter protection. Such shrubs enlarge the number of kinds available and create more interest, but they might even- tually be killed by a severe and prolonged winter. I am thinking of those like the Blue Bird hibis- cus, fall-flowering buddleias, Somerset daphne, most deut- zias, some weigelas and the much advertised blue spirea (Caryopterus). All might prove hardy in, southern Ontario but they are not rugged plants for most of the provinces. Looking through the list of hardy shrubs it is quite evident that many, besides being very beautiful, are also much more virile than others and will with- stand very rigorous climates. These plants will also grow well in any soil with little attention. These are the shrubs we should use as the nucleus of our plant- ings, for they may be left alone and unattended and yet will give each year a remarkable display of blooms, fruit or leaf color. Considering first the tall- growing shrubs whose growth exceeds eight feet, I should like to point out the beautiful wing- ed euonymus (Euonymus alata). This fine. shrub is probably more outstanding just new than at any other time for in fall its bright-pink or rosy-red leaf color is unrivaled among woody plans. Mass groupings of this large shrub will produce breath-taking color displays, but evén a single specimen will designed for Canadians," price $1.00 tax free.

You will find it under the name Euonymus alata 'Compacta'. OTHER TYPES The Preston lilacs always ex- cite admiration after the other hybrids have finished flower- ing. The most outstanding of all is the variety Elinor, which has bright-pink tresses of very pleasingly fragrant blooms. Al- though not available as yet, it will be sold by several Cana- dian nurserymen in the near) future. In the meantime if you are prilling to accept a substi- tute, try Coral or Royalty, both of which have the same tints but not the same drifting fra- grance. In the large shrub category too, it placed the bottlebrush buck- eye (Aesculus parviflora). This is surely worthy of mention. From its rounded, luxurient fol- iage mass arise, in July, long upright bloom spikes, towering to eighteen inches and tapering like tall white candles with a reddish glow, These large flow- ers continue to bloom for sev- eral days as each floret opens| from the base to the tip of the) spike. | Medium - sized easy-to-grow| shrubs from four. to five feet are perhaps better known than!| the taller ones, because of the| demand for this size in recent] years.
