Verticillatns (Deciduous Holly) —5 to 6 feet high. I met with a plot of these shrubs lately in our own woods, and I thought them one of the most beautiful sights I had seen for a long time, the plants were literallv covered with brierht red ber- ries, the ground being covered with snow made them look all the brighter ; they last all winter ; flowers small, white in July. 21. Ligustrum, var. tricolor (Privet)— This variety I would recommend on account of its beautiful variegated foliage, a very pretty sport of the common Privet. 22. Lonicera (Bush Honeysuckle.) Tur- kestan. L. var. Candida, 8 to 10 feet, white flowers in end of May. 23.
