Viburnum dentatum is now extensively planted in parks. In June when covered with great flat clusters of snowy Mowers, and later when these are succeeded by dark, shining, blue 1^ berries, the bush is most attractive and ornamental. These shining blue ber- ries are eaten by birds, although it is hard to understand why; they are dry, dull, tasteless, seedy things. Viburnum molle, the Soft - leaved. Leaf of Viburnum molle. Arrow-wood, is a southern bush greatly resem blint Viburnum dentatum and is sometimes found in Penn- sylvania. It is perfectly hardy at the north and we)' worthy of cultivation.
