In August the fruit clusters assume the richest deep crimson color and are very conspicuous and ornament- al. In September they turn black and soon drop. V. dentatum is another ornamental native species we must not overlook. It forms a neat, dense bush six to lo- feet tall, depending on situation and bears a partial resemblance to V. ven- osum. But in V. dentatum the rugose deep green leaves are quite smooth, whereas in V. venosum they are rough and hairy. V. dentatum produces its pretty, neat, white flower clusters about June 10. The clusters of handsome, bluish black berries ripen in August and September and these, unless eaten by- birds, hang on throughout the fall. V. dilatatum is a Japanese species^ with a somewhat broad branching habit and markedly hairy twigs, usually grow- ing from five to seven feet tall. The flat flower clusters usually come into bloom about June 10. The stiff erect clusters of smallish glowing red fruits ripen about September i and persist, with much noticeable beauty, until early win- ter. V. Wrighti, another Japanese species, has a slight resemblance to the last but does not grow quite as dense; it flowers about May 25. The red fruit clusters ripen in September and are quite showy. V. Lentago is perhaps the largest growing of all our native viburnums, at- taining occasionally the proportions of a small tree with a trunk 15 inches in diameter at the base. It produces its white, flat flower clusters about the end of the first week in June, and the droop- ing clusters of black fruits are persist- ent throughout the fall and a part of the winter. It is better adapted for park plantations than for private gardens. V. Sargenti, introduced not many years since from China, bears, at first sight, a strong resemblance to V. Opul- us in its foliage and flowers but the lat- ter are more showy than
