ORNAMENTAL, DEPARTMENT.—FLOWERING SHRUBS. being tinged with rose; flowers large; habit vigorous, and a profuse bloomer. Rough-Leaved (Sca-bra)—One of the finest of this interesting class of shrubs, pro- ducing white flowers in June. Slender-Branched (Gracilis)—A dwarf va- riety, covered with a profusion of white flowers in June. This is well adapted to planting in cemetery lots or small door-yards.

Color deep orange red; very showy and attractive. The fruit is not only very ornamental, but has a sprightly, sharp, pleasant flavor, and makes a delicious sauce when cooked. Eleagnus is one of the most valuable ornamental berry- bearing s
