It makes a symmetrical, handsome specimen plant, is useful as a hedge plant, and is desir able for edging walks or beds, the plants being kept low by trimming. In early spring, cut tings can be taken five inches in'length and inserted half their length in the soil where an edging is desired, the inserted part being stripped of its leaves. Later in the season it is better to insert the cuttings in moist, sandy soil in a shady situation, and then transplant when the cuttings are rooted. Plants may be also readily propagated from seeds, which should be sown in spring. The plants are of easy ture and will thrive in any rich, sunny bed.

The hardy shrubs require no attention, and can be depended upon from year to year for spring and early summer flowering, a time when an nual flowers aie generally scarce. Alnus ser rulata, Flowering Almond, Spirea opulifolia, Spirea Van Houtte, Weigela rosea, Lilac, Snowball, Flowering Currant and the Japan Quince, are all perfectly hardy, and are sure to bloom during the spring months.
