[Seeds; suckers.] Pt^lea trifoliata. Shrubby Trefoil or Hop Tree (61) is a tall orna- mental aromatic shrub with elm-like winged fruit in clusters and 3-bladed alternate leaves. The small greenish flowers bloom in May and June. The fruit soon forms and remains on the bush till winter. The leaves when held towards the light show pinhole-like transparent dots. This is probably the only species in general cultivation, though in the West there are several others (a late writer, Edward L. Green, would divide them into over 50), differing in color and pubescence of foliage and in size and shape of fruit. .[Seeds ; layers.] Skimmia. The Skimmias are handsome evergreen shrubs with simple alternate entire-edged leaves, insignificant flowers (usually of 4 petals) and small red berries with 2 to 4 seeds lasting over the winter. The leaves. Fig. 61.—Hop Tree. Fig. 62. —Japan Skimmia. are transparent-dotted, as in the Hop Tree. They are not fully hardy north of Washington. The Japan species is the taller, to 5 feet, and has brighter colored berries, while the Chinese is smaller, 2 to 4 feet, with more abundant dull red berries. Japan Skimmia (62) — Skimmia japonioa — has the leaves crowded at the ends of the branches, more or less yellowish green on both sides, 3J to.
