Fortunately its place can be taken by a Japa- nese species that is even more satisfactory. Fig. 2663. The berries of the Japanese species, V. tomeHtosum, are a brilliant scarlet, chaugiug to black. The foliage of this Snowball is also remarkably beautiful. The leaves are olive-green with brownish purple or bronzy margins, and their plicate character makes them very distinct and attractive.
