It is easily +recognised from the leaflets being in two or three pairs, with an odd +one at top, in colour of a glossy dark-green, and the leaves of a +leathery nature. The flowers are borne in much-crowded, erect racemes +which open in early spring, followed later by clusters of purple +berries. + +Darwin's Barberry (page 6) is a densely-branched, spreading evergreen +bush about 8 feet high, with numerous racemose flowers which open in +May, succeeded by purple berries throughout the summer. Leaves are about +one inch long, oval-shaped, with five spiny teeth. A near ally to the +preceding is the Narrow-leaved Barberry (page 7). It forms a shrub of +rare beauty; with slender arching shoots which in early spring are +densely covered with golden blossoms. May be known by the narrow +sharp-pointed leaves. + +A British shrub, the Common Barberry (page 8) usually inhabits dry stony +soils, and forms a tall shrub about 10 feet high. In early spring the +plant is profusely covered with pendulous racemes of yellow flowers, and +later by the scarlet berries which are sometimes used for preserves. +Distinguished by the egg-shaped leaves and three-parted spines at the +axils of the leaves. A photograph showing the flowers on a larger scale +will be found on page 11 of _Wild Flowers at Home, Fourth Series_ +("Nature Book," No. 16). + +The Laurel-leaved Cistus (page 9) is a native of the South of Europe, +and grows over four feet high. The flowers, resembling in appearance +those of the dog-rose, are borne on terminal flower-stalks four and five +together, but are very ephemeral in character. The ovate spear-shaped +leaves are generally covered with a gummy substance. Flowers during July +and August. + +Pallas's Tamarisk (page 10) is one of the shrubs which thrive in bleak +exposed places and in dry sandy soils. The leaves are of a minute +scale-like character, and from May onwards the long, terminal spikes of +rosy-pink flowers are an attractive feature. + +A hardy evergreen, shrubby plant, the Common Rue (page 11) is well known +as a medicinal plant. The leaves are nearly blue and emit a very +unpleasant smell and have a bitter taste. Flowers are produced in late +summer. + +One of the most fragrant shrubs, the Mexican Orange-Flower (page 12), +forms a large glossy-leaved bush with axillary stalks of white flowers +which, from their appearance and fragrance, resemble orange-blossom. The +flowers open in summer, and the leaves are bright-green, long-stalked, +with three leaflets to each. + +The Hop Tree or Shrubby Trefoil (page 13), flowers from May to July and +produces flat-headed inflorescences of a greenish yellow colour, +succeeded in autumn by bunches of flat fruits of a greenish colour. As +the specific name suggests the leaves are in threes, long-stalked, of an +elliptical shape, and terminate in a sharp point. Reaches a height of 8 +feet. + +Generally grown as a wall-plant, the Blue Mountain Sweet (page 14) +flowers freely in that position during July and August. The alternate +leaves are oblong, sharply-serrated, and downy. From the axils of the +leaves spring the elongated spikes of pale blue flowers. A native of +Mexico. + +The Veitch's Mountain Sweet (page 15) is another plant grown as a +wall-shrub, where it often attains a height of 12 feet, and is a most +conspicuous plant during its flowering period from May to July when it +is literally covered by dense clusters of bright blue flowers relieved +by neat, elliptical dark-green leaves. + +Dyers' Greenweed (page 16), so-called from the plant yielding a yellow +dye, is found wild as a native plant in certain parts of Britain, and +flowers most of the summer. The yellow flowers are produced on spicate +racemes, while the leaves are alternate, smooth and spear-shaped. An +erect-growing plant about two feet in height. + +The Yellow Spanish Broom (page 17) is a plant which delights in a dry +sandy loam, and is capable of resisting long periods of drought. This +species is a hardy deciduous shrub with rush-like and nearly leafless +branches, and attains a height of six feet. From July to September its +spikes of fragrant golden-yellow blossoms are particularly attractive. + +One of the European species, the Capitate Broom (page 18) forms a shrub +over two feet high and opens its flowers from June onwards. The leaflets +are egg-shaped, and the whole plant is covered with loose, soft hair. + +Gerard's Indigo (page 19), a native of India, is one of the most +beautiful of the Leguminosæ shrubs and is a low branching species. +Leaves pinnate and of a pale grey-green colour. Flowers open from July +onwards and are borne in many-flowered spikes. + +A native of Europe, the Bladder Senna (page 20) is one of the few plants +that thrive in dry sandy soils. It forms a hardy, deciduous, +free-growing shrub 10 feet high, bearing stalks of yellow pea-shaped +flowers from July to September. The pinnate leaves are prettily divided +into ovate and flat-shaped leaflets. A distinctive feature of this plant +in the autumn is the large inflated seed-pods. + +A popular and well-known evergreen shrub, the Portugal Laurel (page 21) +forms a large spreading bush from 10 to over 20 feet in height. The +ovate and lanceolate-shaped leaves are of a dense dark-green, and in +June the large erect spikes of white flowers are very striking. In +autumn the egg-shaped and dull-red coloured fruits are a noticeable +feature. + +Douglas's Spiræa (page 22) forms a crowded cluster of erect shoots about +6 feet high, and in August the dense terminal spikes of rosy-red flowers +open. Leaves acute, rounded, and downy beneath. + +_Spiræa Japonica_ (page 23) forms a bush 3 to 6 feet high with much +branched shoots terminating in brightly coloured flat flower-heads which +open from July onwards, and are relieved by the small spear-shaped, +abrupt-pointed, and finely-serrated leaves. + +A native of Nepaul, the Vine-leaved Neillia (page 24) is frequently seen +in shrubberies, forming a hardy branching bush about five feet high, the +shoots bearing spikes of white flowers in June. A distinctive feature of +this plant is the heart-shaped, three-lobed, and serrated leaves. + +The Jew's Mallow (page 25) is one of the favourite plants commonly grown +on cottage walls, and the illustration shows the double-flowering form +with the solitary, terminal stalks of flowers, which open in early +summer. The foliage is glabrous, spear-shaped and finely-toothed on the +margins. + +Few shrubs when in flower are capable of arresting attention so much as +the Rocky Mountain Bramble (page 26). In May the large, single, white, +rose-like flowers are a beautiful feature of this bramble, which attains +a height of five feet. The kidney-shaped leaves are three to five-lobed +and finely-toothed. A native of North America, where this plant is said +to produce large fruits of delicious flavour. + +The Cut-leaved Bramble (page 27) is frequently seen in a wild state, and +is known by its finely-cut leaves. Of a pinkish-white colour, the +flowers are borne in loose spikes from June to September, whilst fruit +can be picked during the latter month. It is a robust climbing plant, +and the wood is very prickly. + +The Nutka Sound Raspberry (page 28) is one of the species that send up +annual shoots attaining to a height of two feet, on which are borne the +large ornamental five-lobed leaves. The large, handsome white flowers +open in June, and the large, conical-shaped, red fruits ripen early in +autumn. + +Of a much-branched shrubby habit, the Shrubby Cinquefoil (page 29) forms +a small bush from two to four feet in height, with pinnate leaves and +entire hairy oblong leaflets. A native of the Northern Hemisphere, this +cinquefoil produces flat-headed inflorescences of yellow flowers +throughout the summer months. + +The Small-leaved Rockspray (page 30) forms a prostrate bush about three +feet high, and is distinguished by the branches being densely covered by +small, acute, and dark-green glossy leaves. The small, white, solitary +flowers are borne in the axils of the leaves during April and May. This +plant is often grown as a wall plant, in which position it is +conspicuous in winter with its bright-scarlet fruits. + +Simons's Cotoneaster (page 31) forms a much-branching, usually evergreen +shrub about six feet high. In April, solitary, white, and sessile +flowers are borne on lateral branches. Foliage angular-shaped and silky +beneath. Its bright scarlet fruits are conspicuous in late autumn. + +_Deutzia gracilis_ (page 32) is a well-known Japanese shrub seen in +florists' shops in early spring. It forms a compact-growing bush two +feet high, producing in April terminal spikes of pretty white blossoms +set amidst the small egg-shaped and narrow-pointed leaves. + +The Common Mock Orange (page 33) is an erect-growing shrub, from six to +ten feet high, profusely covered in May with white and strongly +orange-scented flowers. The ovate-shaped leaves are said to have the +odour and taste of cucumbers when crushed. A native of the South of +Europe. + +On page 34 is illustrated the Large-flowered Mock Orange, a shrub from +the Southern United States. It differs from the Common Mock Orange in +its taller growth (fully 12 feet), and in the large white blossoms, +which open in midsummer, being practically scentless. The leaves also +are more narrow at the point and more rounded at the base. + +Philippi's Escallonia (page 35) forms a straggling bush, and in July the +shoots are densely covered with panicles of small white flowers set +amidst small dark-green leaves. + +The Dotted Escallonia (page 36) is a much-branched evergreen bush, five +to six feet high, with the shoots terminated by deep-red-coloured +flowers which open in July. The common name of this plant is derived +from the leaves having little dot-like swellings (glands) on the lower +side of the leaves, which are sharp-pointed, ovate in form, and very +glossy on the upper surface. + +Early in May the Buffalo or Missouri Currant (page 37) one of the North +American Currants, opens its golden-yellow flowers, which are borne in +drooping clusters on short shoots arising from the main stems. It is a +loosely-growing plant, about four feet high, with long-stalked, +three-lobed leaves. + +One of the European (British) shrubs, the Wild or Red Currant (page 38) +is found in the woodlands, where its red-coloured and acid-tasted fruits +are found in late summer. It throws drooping clusters of green-coloured +flowers in early spring, and the three to five-angled leaves are a +distinctive feature of this plant. It is from this plant that the garden +forms of the Red Currant have arisen. + +To those familiar with the West Coast of Scotland, the Riccarton Fuchsia +(page 39) will have been noticeable to them there as forming hedges +often over six feet in height. It is a handsome plant, with its shoots +laden in summer and autumn with drooping red-coloured flowers. + +The White-fruited Dogwood (page 40) is usually found in moist +situations, and opens its flat-shaped flower-heads in May. They are +succeeded in autumn by clusters of small, white-coloured, fruits. A +plant that is easily recognisable by its bright-red-coloured shoots and +large ovate-shaped and sharp-pointed leaves. + +One of the most ornamental evergreen shrubs, the Japanese Aucuba (page +41), is grown in mostly all gardens. The leaves are pale green in colour +and beautifully spotted with yellow; in form, spear-shaped, leathery to +the feel, and very glossy. The flowers open in early spring, but are +inconspicuous, and hidden by the foliage. + +The Canadian Elder (page 42) is a plant frequently seen in shrubberies, +opening its large, white-coloured flower-heads in late July, followed in +autumn by clusters of purple-coloured berries. The illustration is very +typical, the large flower-heads being shown among the pinnate leaves and +oblong-shaped leaflets. + +A native of South Europe, the Laurustinus (page 43) flowers throughout +the winter, according to situation, and may be known by the flat corymbs +of white flowers. It is an evergreen shrub, with shining, dark-green, +and oval-shaped leaves. + +In the Tomentose Guelder Rose (page 44) the flowers are barren around +the margin of the truss, and open in early summer, while the leaves are +flat, rounded, dark-green in colour, and very wrinkled. + +The Japanese Guelder Rose (page 45) has large, rounded, barren trusses +of white flowers, which open in May. It forms a spreading bush from +three to four feet high. + +The Snowberry (page 46) is familiar through its large, white fruits +hanging on the branches most of the winter. In late summer it opens its +flowers, which are borne in loose spikes at the end of the branches, and +forms a loose-growing bush about four feet high. + +[A]One of the most ornamental free-flowering shrubs, the Bush +Honeysuckle (page 47), produces in early summer large clusters of +bell-shaped and rose-coloured flowers, set amidst light-green, +ovate-shaped leaves, and attains a height of over six feet. + +[Footnote A: Page 69, the Bush Honeysuckle is generally known by +gardeners under its old Latin name of _Weigela_, which they often +pronounce "Vigilia."] + +A native of New Zealand, the Daisy Tree is one of the most popular +free-flowering shrubs. The illustration (page 48) shews the foliage +completely hidden by the numerous small white and yellow-disked flowers. +It is a box-like plant, and grows over six feet high. The leaves are +crowded, about one inch long, dull-green colour above and whitish +beneath, and acute at each end. + +The New Zealand Daisy Tree (page 49) has large holly-like leaves, which +are silvery on the underside, and large flower-heads, which are white, +with a red centre, and open in July. Forms a loose-growing plant. + +A densely-growing bush, the Prickly Heath (page 50) flowers from May to +July, and the small white flowers are succeeded by berries of various +colours borne in the axils of the small, dark-green, rigid, shining +leaves. It rarely grows over four feet high. + +The Leather-Leaf (page 51) is a sparse-growing, dwarf, evergreen shrub +from North America. It flowers from April to May, the small, +cylindrical-shaped, snow-white flowers being produced from the under +sides of the branches. Leaves scarce, narrowed to each end, and +rusty-coloured beneath. + +At page 52 is illustrated the Bundle-flowered Andromeda, a shrub growing +about six feet high, which flowers in April, completely covering the +plant with spikes of lily-of-the-valley-like blossoms. A plant +recognised by the long, egg-shaped and sharply-pointed leaves, leathery +in touching, and of a very dark green colour. + +The Labrador Tea (page 53) derives its common name from the leaves +having been used as a substitute for tea. It grows about three feet +high, of compact, rounded form, and in early May is profusely covered +with trusses of white flowers set amidst narrow rusty-looking foliage. + +One of the best known shrubs is _Rhododendron flavum_ (page 54) +(commonly known as _Azalea pontica_), and in early summer it is one of +the freest-flowering plants. A plant easily known by its trusses of +yellow-coloured and clammy blossoms with long protruding stamens. The +large and shiny leaves are sparsely produced. + +The Rusty-leaved Alpenrose (page 55) is a European plant rarely growing +over three feet high, of compact growth, with shining dotted leaves. +From May onwards plants are conspicuous in rock gardens with their small +trusses of scarlet and yellow-dotted flowers. For a photograph on a +larger scale, see _Alpine Plants at Home_, First Series ("Nature Book" +No. 20), page 39. + +Few plants are so well known as the Common or Pontic Rhododendron (page +56), and in many parts of Britain it has naturalised itself in the +woodlands. It forms a tall-growing plant, frequently over 12 feet high, +producing trusses of purple-coloured flowers in May, relieved by large, +light-green, spear-shaped foliage. + +From the delicacy and fragrance of its flowers the Common White Jesamine +(page 57) ranks as one of the most popular plants of the garden. It +forms a slender-growing, climbing plant, with feather-shaped leaves and +acutely-pointed leaflets, and flowers from May to October. + +The Common Lilac (page 58) is familiar with its purple or white-coloured +spikes of flowers, which open in May. It forms a tall-growing plant, +with large heart-shaped leaves. + +Travers's Speedwell (page 59) is a charming evergreen shrub about four +feet high, with short racemes of pale-mauve-coloured flowers, which open +in June and July. The leaves are arranged four-rowed along the shoots, +with short footstalks, narrow-oblong in shape, and dark-green in colour. + +A plant peculiar to cottage gardens is the Common Lavender (page 60), +which produces long-stalked spikes of blue flowers throughout the +summer. These flowers are usually cut and dried for their lasting +fragrance, whilst the much-appreciated lavender water is distilled from +the flowers. It forms a dense-growing bush about two feet high, with +long narrow-shaped leaves. + +On page 61 is illustrated the Poet's Laurel or Sweet Bay, a beautiful +evergreen shrub from South Europe. In many parts of Britain it grows +over 21 feet high, but it is usually grown in tubs for floral +decoration. The leaves, which are spear-shaped, have an agreeable, +slightly bitter taste, and are used in cooking and for confections. The +flowers, which are borne in the axils of the leaves, are yellowish in +colour, but inconspicuous, and appear in early spring. + +The Spurge Laurel (page 62), one of the European (British) shrubs, forms +an evergreen bush about three feet high, with thick, shining, +spear-shaped leaves. The sweet-scented flowers, of a greenish-yellow +colour, appear in February and March, but are inconspicuous, and are +borne in drooping clusters at the base of the leaves. Fruit of this +plant is highly poisonous. + +The Mezereon (page 63) is a conspicuous plant early in March through the +leafless branches being covered with red, fragrant blossoms, succeeded +later in summer by scarlet berries set amidst lance-shaped and +acute-pointed leaves. The Mezereon forms an erect-shaped bush, about +four feet high, of which the bark is used medicinally. A white-flowering +form of this plant is in cultivation and bears yellow-coloured berries +in summer. + +Another of the British shrubs is illustrated at page 64 in the Butcher's +Broom, a plant growing about two feet high, with rigid, spiny, widened +branches on which are borne the small, white solitary flowers, which +open in March and April. For a photograph on a larger scale, see _Wild +Flowers at Home_, Fourth Series ("Nature Book" No. 16), page 58. + +-------------------- + +The Latin nomenclature adopted for the shrubs in this volume is that of +the "Hand-list of Trees and Shrubs" (1902) issued by the Royal Botanic +Gardens, Kew. The English and French names are compiled from various +sources; where none existed, suitable appellations have been coined. The +German names are due to the kindness of Herr Andreas Voss. + + + + +Gowans's Nature Books + + +The object of these little books is to stimulate a love for nature and a +desire to study it. + +Each Volume contains Sixty Photographs by the best Nature Photographers, +and is printed on the finest paper obtainable. + +No. 1.--WILD BIRDS AT HOME.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included.

during recent years, and this +has no doubt been brought about by the increasing knowledge of nature +study now commonly included in the curriculum of schools and other +establishments, and while shrubs have not as yet received the same +attention as trees yet they offer quite as interesting a field, while +the beauty of certain of the species arrests the attention of even the +most casual observer. +</p> + +<p> +The term “shrub” means a low, woody-stemmed perennial, but many of the +species attain the dimensions of a fair-sized tree. +</p> + +<p class="spaced"> +The <span class="plantname common">Holly-leaved Barberry</span> or <span class="plantname common">Mahonia</span> (<a href="#ill002">frontispiece</a>), a North American +shrub, is commonly met with either planted as an undergrowth to +deciduous trees or as a covert plant in woodlands. It is easily +recognised from the leaflets being in two or three pairs, with an odd +one at top, in colour of a glossy dark-green, and the leaves of a +leathery nature.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/38904-h/images/cover.jpg b/38904-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

It is easily +recognised from the leaflets being in two or three pairs, with an odd +one at top, in colour of a glossy dark-green, and the leaves of a +leathery nature. The flowers are borne in much-crowded, erect racemes +which open in early spring, followed later by clusters of purple +berries. + +Darwin's Barberry (page 6) is a densely-branched, spreading evergreen +bush about 8 feet high, with numerous racemose flowers which open in +May, succeeded by purple berries throughout the summer. Leaves are about +one inch long, oval-shaped, with five spiny teeth. A near ally to the +preceding is the Narrow-leaved Barberry (page 7). It forms a shrub of +rare beauty; with slender arching shoots which in early spring are +densely covered with golden blossoms. May be known by the narrow +sharp-pointed leaves. + +A British shrub, the Common Barberry (page 8) usually inhabits dry stony +soils, and forms a tall shrub about 10 feet high. In early spring the +plant is profusely covered with pendulous racemes of yellow flowers, and +later by the scarlet berries which are sometimes used for preserves. +Distinguished by the egg-shaped leaves and three-parted spines at the +axils of the leaves. A photograph showing the flowers on a larger scale +will be found on page 11 of _Wild Flowers at Home, Fourth Series_ +("Nature Book," No. 16). + +The Laurel-leaved Cistus (page 9) is a native of the South of Europe, +and grows over four feet high. The flowers, resembling in appearance +those of the dog-rose, are borne on terminal flower-stalks four and five +together, but are very ephemeral in character. The ovate spear-shaped +leaves are generally covered with a gummy substance. Flowers during July +and August. + +Pallas's Tamarisk (page 10) is one of the shrubs which thrive in bleak +exposed places and in dry sandy soils. The leaves are of a minute +scale-like character, and from May onwards the long, terminal spikes of +rosy-pink flowers are an attractive feature. + +A hardy evergreen, shrubby plant, the Common Rue (page 11) is well known +as a medicinal plant. The leaves are nearly blue and emit a very +unpleasant smell and have a bitter taste. Flowers are produced in late +summer. + +One of the most fragrant shrubs, the Mexican Orange-Flower (page 12), +forms a large glossy-leaved bush with axillary stalks of white flowers +which, from their appearance and fragrance, resemble orange-blossom. The +flowers open in summer, and the leaves are bright-green, long-stalked, +with three leaflets to each. + +The Hop Tree or Shrubby Trefoil (page 13), flowers from May to July and +produces flat-headed inflorescences of a greenish yellow colour, +succeeded in autumn by bunches of flat fruits of a greenish colour. As +the specific name suggests the leaves are in threes, long-stalked, of an +elliptical shape, and terminate in a sharp point. Reaches a height of 8 +feet. + +Generally grown as a wall-plant, the Blue Mountain Sweet (page 14) +flowers freely in that position during July and August. The alternate +leaves are oblong, sharply-serrated, and downy. From the axils of the +leaves spring the elongated spikes of pale blue flowers. A native of +Mexico. + +The Veitch's Mountain Sweet (page 15) is another plant grown as a +wall-shrub, where it often attains a height of 12 feet, and is a most +conspicuous plant during its flowering period from May to July when it +is literally covered by dense clusters of bright blue flowers relieved +by neat, elliptical dark-green leaves. + +Dyers' Greenweed (page 16), so-called from the plant yielding a yellow +dye, is found wild as a native plant in certain parts of Britain, and +flowers most of the summer. The yellow flowers are produced on spicate +racemes, while the leaves are alternate, smooth and spear-shaped. An +erect-growing plant about two feet in height. + +The Yellow Spanish Broom (page 17) is a plant which delights in a dry +sandy loam, and is capable of resisting long periods of drought. This +species is a hardy deciduous shrub with rush-like and nearly leafless +branches, and attains a height of six feet. From July to September its +spikes of fragrant golden-yellow blossoms are particularly attractive. + +One of the European species, the Capitate Broom (page 18) forms a shrub +over two feet high and opens its flowers from June onwards. The leaflets +are egg-shaped, and the whole plant is covered with loose, soft hair. + +Gerard's Indigo (page 19), a native of India, is one of the most +beautiful of the Leguminosae shrubs and is a low branching species. +Leaves pinnate and of a pale grey-green colour. Flowers open from July +onwards and are borne in many-flowered spikes. + +A native of Europe, the Bladder Senna (page 20) is one of the few plants +that thrive in dry sandy soils. It forms a hardy, deciduous, +free-growing shrub 10 feet high, bearing stalks of yellow pea-shaped +flowers from July to September. The pinnate leaves are prettily divided +into ovate and flat-shaped leaflets. A distinctive feature of this plant +in the autumn is the large inflated seed-pods. + +A popular and well-known evergreen shrub, the Portugal Laurel (page 21) +forms a large spreading bush from 10 to over 20 feet in height. The +ovate and lanceolate-shaped leaves are of a dense dark-green, and in +June the large erect spikes of white flowers are very striking. In +autumn the egg-shaped and dull-red coloured fruits are a noticeable +feature. + +Douglas's Spiraea (page 22) forms a crowded cluster of erect shoots about +6 feet high, and in August the dense terminal spikes of rosy-red flowers +open. Leaves acute, rounded, and downy beneath. + +_Spiraea Japonica_ (page 23) forms a bush 3 to 6 feet high with much +branched shoots terminating in brightly coloured flat flower-heads which +open from July onwards, and are relieved by the small spear-shaped, +abrupt-pointed, and finely-serrated leaves. + +A native of Nepaul, the Vine-leaved Neillia (page 24) is frequently seen +in shrubberies, forming a hardy branching bush about five feet high, the +shoots bearing spikes of white flowers in June. A distinctive feature of +this plant is the heart-shaped, three-lobed, and serrated leaves. + +The Jew's Mallow (page 25) is one of the favourite plants commonly grown +on cottage walls, and the illustration shows the double-flowering form +with the solitary, terminal stalks of flowers, which open in early +summer. The foliage is glabrous, spear-shaped and finely-toothed on the +margins. + +Few shrubs when in flower are capable of arresting attention so much as +the Rocky Mountain Bramble (page 26). In May the large, single, white, +rose-like flowers are a beautiful feature of this bramble, which attains +a height of five feet. The kidney-shaped leaves are three to five-lobed +and finely-toothed. A native of North America, where this plant is said +to produce large fruits of delicious flavour. + +The Cut-leaved Bramble (page 27) is frequently seen in a wild state, and +is known by its finely-cut leaves. Of a pinkish-white colour, the +flowers are borne in loose spikes from June to September, whilst fruit +can be picked during the latter month. It is a robust climbing plant, +and the wood is very prickly. + +The Nutka Sound Raspberry (page 28) is one of the species that send up +annual shoots attaining to a height of two feet, on which are borne the +large ornamental five-lobed leaves. The large, handsome white flowers +open in June, and the large, conical-shaped, red fruits ripen early in +autumn. + +Of a much-branched shrubby habit, the Shrubby Cinquefoil (page 29) forms +a small bush from two to four feet in height, with pinnate leaves and +entire hairy oblong leaflets. A native of the Northern Hemisphere, this +cinquefoil produces flat-headed inflorescences of yellow flowers +throughout the summer months. + +The Small-leaved Rockspray (page 30) forms a prostrate bush about three +feet high, and is distinguished by the branches being densely covered by +small, acute, and dark-green glossy leaves. The small, white, solitary +flowers are borne in the axils of the leaves during April and May. This +plant is often grown as a wall plant, in which position it is +conspicuous in winter with its bright-scarlet fruits. + +Simons's Cotoneaster (page 31) forms a much-branching, usually evergreen +shrub about six feet high. In April, solitary, white, and sessile +flowers are borne on lateral branches. Foliage angular-shaped and silky +beneath. Its bright scarlet fruits are conspicuous in late autumn. + +_Deutzia gracilis_ (page 32) is a well-known Japanese shrub seen in +florists' shops in early spring. It forms a compact-growing bush two +feet high, producing in April terminal spikes of pretty white blossoms +set amidst the small egg-shaped and narrow-pointed leaves. + +The Common Mock Orange (page 33) is an erect-growing shrub, from six to +ten feet high, profusely covered in May with white and strongly +orange-scented flowers. The ovate-shaped leaves are said to have the +odour and taste of cucumbers when crushed. A native of the South of +Europe. + +On page 34 is illustrated the Large-flowered Mock Orange, a shrub from +the Southern United States. It differs from the Common Mock Orange in +its taller growth (fully 12 feet), and in the large white blossoms, +which open in midsummer, being practically scentless. The leaves also +are more narrow at the point and more rounded at the base. + +Philippi's Escallonia (page 35) forms a straggling bush, and in July the +shoots are densely covered with panicles of small white flowers set +amidst small dark-green leaves. + +The Dotted Escallonia (page 36) is a much-branched evergreen bush, five +to six feet high, with the shoots terminated by deep-red-coloured +flowers which open in July. The common name of this plant is derived +from the leaves having little dot-like swellings (glands) on the lower +side of the leaves, which are sharp-pointed, ovate in form, and very +glossy on the upper surface. + +Early in May the Buffalo or Missouri Currant (page 37) one of the North +American Currants, opens its golden-yellow flowers, which are borne in +drooping clusters on short shoots arising from the main stems. It is a +loosely-growing plant, about four feet high, with long-stalked, +three-lobed leaves. + +One of the European (British) shrubs, the Wild or Red Currant (page 38) +is found in the woodlands, where its red-coloured and acid-tasted fruits +are found in late summer. It throws drooping clusters of green-coloured +flowers in early spring, and the three to five-angled leaves are a +distinctive feature of this plant. It is from this plant that the garden +forms of the Red Currant have arisen. + +To those familiar with the West Coast of Scotland, the Riccarton Fuchsia +(page 39) will have been noticeable to them there as forming hedges +often over six feet in height. It is a handsome plant, with its shoots +laden in summer and autumn with drooping red-coloured flowers. + +The White-fruited Dogwood (page 40) is usually found in moist +situations, and opens its flat-shaped flower-heads in May. They are +succeeded in autumn by clusters of small, white-coloured, fruits. A +plant that is easily recognisable by its bright-red-coloured shoots and +large ovate-shaped and sharp-pointed leaves. + +One of the most ornamental evergreen shrubs, the Japanese Aucuba (page +41), is grown in mostly all gardens. The leaves are pale green in colour +and beautifully spotted with yellow; in form, spear-shaped, leathery to +the feel, and very glossy. The flowers open in early spring, but are +inconspicuous, and hidden by the foliage. + +The Canadian Elder (page 42) is a plant frequently seen in shrubberies, +opening its large, white-coloured flower-heads in late July, followed in +autumn by clusters of purple-coloured berries. The illustration is very +typical, the large flower-heads being shown among the pinnate leaves and +oblong-shaped leaflets. + +A native of South Europe, the Laurustinus (page 43) flowers throughout +the winter, according to situation, and may be known by the flat corymbs +of white flowers. It is an evergreen shrub, with shining, dark-green, +and oval-shaped leaves. + +In the Tomentose Guelder Rose (page 44) the flowers are barren around +the margin of the truss, and open in early summer, while the leaves are +flat, rounded, dark-green in colour, and very wrinkled. + +The Japanese Guelder Rose (page 45) has large, rounded, barren trusses +of white flowers, which open in May. It forms a spreading bush from +three to four feet high. + +The Snowberry (page 46) is familiar through its large, white fruits +hanging on the branches most of the winter. In late summer it opens its +flowers, which are borne in loose spikes at the end of the branches, and +forms a loose-growing bush about four feet high. + +[A]One of the most ornamental free-flowering shrubs, the Bush +Honeysuckle (page 47), produces in early summer large clusters of +bell-shaped and rose-coloured flowers, set amidst light-green, +ovate-shaped leaves, and attains a height of over six feet. + +[Footnote A: Page 69, the Bush Honeysuckle is generally known by +gardeners under its old Latin name of _Weigela_, which they often +pronounce "Vigilia."] + +A native of New Zealand, the Daisy Tree is one of the most popular +free-flowering shrubs. The illustration (page 48) shews the foliage +completely hidden by the numerous small white and yellow-disked flowers. +It is a box-like plant, and grows over six feet high. The leaves are +crowded, about one inch long, dull-green colour above and whitish +beneath, and acute at each end. + +The New Zealand Daisy Tree (page 49) has large holly-like leaves, which +are silvery on the underside, and large flower-heads, which are white, +with a red centre, and open in July. Forms a loose-growing plant. + +A densely-growing bush, the Prickly Heath (page 50) flowers from May to +July, and the small white flowers are succeeded by berries of various +colours borne in the axils of the small, dark-green, rigid, shining +leaves. It rarely grows over four feet high. + +The Leather-Leaf (page 51) is a sparse-growing, dwarf, evergreen shrub +from North America. It flowers from April to May, the small, +cylindrical-shaped, snow-white flowers being produced from the under +sides of the branches. Leaves scarce, narrowed to each end, and +rusty-coloured beneath. + +At page 52 is illustrated the Bundle-flowered Andromeda, a shrub growing +about six feet high, which flowers in April, completely covering the +plant with spikes of lily-of-the-valley-like blossoms. A plant +recognised by the long, egg-shaped and sharply-pointed leaves, leathery +in touching, and of a very dark green colour. + +The Labrador Tea (page 53) derives its common name from the leaves +having been used as a substitute for tea. It grows about three feet +high, of compact, rounded form, and in early May is profusely covered +with trusses of white flowers set amidst narrow rusty-looking foliage. + +One of the best known shrubs is _Rhododendron flavum_ (page 54) +(commonly known as _Azalea pontica_), and in early summer it is one of +the freest-flowering plants. A plant easily known by its trusses of +yellow-coloured and clammy blossoms with long protruding stamens. The +large and shiny leaves are sparsely produced. + +The Rusty-leaved Alpenrose (page 55) is a European plant rarely growing +over three feet high, of compact growth, with shining dotted leaves. +From May onwards plants are conspicuous in rock gardens with their small +trusses of scarlet and yellow-dotted flowers. For a photograph on a +larger scale, see _Alpine Plants at Home_, First Series ("Nature Book" +No. 20), page 39. + +Few plants are so well known as the Common or Pontic Rhododendron (page +56), and in many parts of Britain it has naturalised itself in the +woodlands. It forms a tall-growing plant, frequently over 12 feet high, +producing trusses of purple-coloured flowers in May, relieved by large, +light-green, spear-shaped foliage. + +From the delicacy and fragrance of its flowers the Common White Jesamine +(page 57) ranks as one of the most popular plants of the garden. It +forms a slender-growing, climbing plant, with feather-shaped leaves and +acutely-pointed leaflets, and flowers from May to October. + +The Common Lilac (page 58) is familiar with its purple or white-coloured +spikes of flowers, which open in May. It forms a tall-growing plant, +with large heart-shaped leaves. + +Travers's Speedwell (page 59) is a charming evergreen shrub about four +feet high, with short racemes of pale-mauve-coloured flowers, which open +in June and July. The leaves are arranged four-rowed along the shoots, +with short footstalks, narrow-oblong in shape, and dark-green in colour. + +A plant peculiar to cottage gardens is the Common Lavender (page 60), +which produces long-stalked spikes of blue flowers throughout the +summer. These flowers are usually cut and dried for their lasting +fragrance, whilst the much-appreciated lavender water is distilled from +the flowers. It forms a dense-growing bush about two feet high, with +long narrow-shaped leaves. + +On page 61 is illustrated the Poet's Laurel or Sweet Bay, a beautiful +evergreen shrub from South Europe. In many parts of Britain it grows +over 21 feet high, but it is usually grown in tubs for floral +decoration. The leaves, which are spear-shaped, have an agreeable, +slightly bitter taste, and are used in cooking and for confections. The +flowers, which are borne in the axils of the leaves, are yellowish in +colour, but inconspicuous, and appear in early spring. + +The Spurge Laurel (page 62), one of the European (British) shrubs, forms +an evergreen bush about three feet high, with thick, shining, +spear-shaped leaves. The sweet-scented flowers, of a greenish-yellow +colour, appear in February and March, but are inconspicuous, and are +borne in drooping clusters at the base of the leaves. Fruit of this +plant is highly poisonous. + +The Mezereon (page 63) is a conspicuous plant early in March through the +leafless branches being covered with red, fragrant blossoms, succeeded +later in summer by scarlet berries set amidst lance-shaped and +acute-pointed leaves. The Mezereon forms an erect-shaped bush, about +four feet high, of which the bark is used medicinally. A white-flowering +form of this plant is in cultivation and bears yellow-coloured berries +in summer. + +Another of the British shrubs is illustrated at page 64 in the Butcher's +Broom, a plant growing about two feet high, with rigid, spiny, widened +branches on which are borne the small, white solitary flowers, which +open in March and April. For a photograph on a larger scale, see _Wild +Flowers at Home_, Fourth Series ("Nature Book" No. 16), page 58. + +-------------------- + +The Latin nomenclature adopted for the shrubs in this volume is that of +the "Hand-list of Trees and Shrubs" (1902) issued by the Royal Botanic +Gardens, Kew. The English and French names are compiled from various +sources; where none existed, suitable appellations have been coined.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/38904.zip b/38904.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..152238f --- /dev/null +++ b/38904.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
