GARDENING
It Saves Grief to Know About Shrub Before Planting It.
(Seventh of a Series)’
By DONALD GRAY Times Special Writer
‘X THEN starting to plant a new garden never buy a tree or shrub unless you know its habits of growth, color, and time of bloom. It is confusing to an amateur
gardener to listen to a nurseryman’s Latin or Greek names of plants. But the price of a good free-flow-ering plant is the same as for one with insignificant bloom and the only way to distinguish one. from the other is by its specific name. Take forsythia, the yellow goldenbell. There are many varieties. On some the flower buds appear early to be killed by winter cold so that the plant never blooms. The best one to plant is called forsythia spectabilis. All varieties of privets do not make satisfactory hedges. The one called California sometimes. freezes to the ground. The English one called vulgaris is subject to a disease. The best varieties are Ibota and Amurense. It is a satisfaction to have the best variety growing in a high hedge because in the beginning you purchased the right variety. J ¥ ” ® ISTAKES are often made by beginning gardeners in buying evergreens. Little balled evergreens
look attractive in their nursery row |.
and seem to be just the plant for growing under a window. Unless some questions are asked about the habits . of the plant you are just likely to buy .a plant that in 10 years’ time will be a forest tree.
It starts out as a dwarf, but it
might cover up the whole house and block the light and view from the windows. When choosing shade trees for the garden, iearn their habits when they grow large. Trees like Norway maples and box elders have such a dense shade that no other plants can grow under them. Soft maples, poplars and willows have such enormous root systems that they may block drains and take up all available plant food. The elm and honey locust are high branched and do not. have ‘dense foliage. Also think. about planting nut. trees for shade trees and large growing shrubs such as the flowering cherries and flowering crabs. These latter plants will sve bloom as well as providing ade.
