. The care of trees in lawn, street and park. With a list of trees and shrubs for decorative use. Trees; Trees. Tamarisks 317 swaying branchlets, beset with minute pink or red, ethereal flowers. They are acclimated as far north as Massachusetts. In Ottawa only T. amurensis has proved half hardy. They will grow in almost any soil, and are especially adaptive to sea- coasts, thriving in the salt spray down to the very shore; they are rapid growers and free from any trouble. To presence their beauty, which lies in the branchlets and flowers, frequent, systematic prun- ing is essential, and this should be done at different times accord- ing to the species and its flowering habit, in order to ensure the throw- ing out of new branches and the flowers appearing on them. Other- wise, the black-barked trunk and the stout, straggling branches are not attractive. The species, very much alike, vary mainly in the time of flower- ing, suggesting the grouping of the three first mentioned for con- tinuous flower effect; they also group well with fine-foliaged coni- fers like cypress and cedars. T. parviflora D. C. (Africana) (330), from South Europe and Africa, is the finest, with very early (May, June, before leafing), bright pink flowers, covering the somewhat drooping branches. Should be pruned soon after flower- ing, since the flowers appear on branches formed in the previous year. T. Germanica Linn. (331), with terminal red flower spikes, appear- ing in summer (July), , on wood of the present year, hence pruning should be done in spring; can be trained to any shape. T. Indica Willd. {^^z)} ^^om India, with terminal flowers. Fig. 113. — German Tamarisk.
