. Ornamental shrubs of the United States (hardy, cultivated). Shrubs. 314 DESCRIPTIONS OP THE SHRUBS species of filberts are so rare in cultivation that none need be mentioned in this book except Purple-leaved Filbert â Corylus maxima purpurea, â which is cultivated for its deep purplish red leaves rather than for fruit [Seeds; suckers.] Qufircus. The Oaks are nearly ah tall trees and the few shrubby forms are practically never cultivated and so this book of ornamental shrubs needs no place for them. The acorn fruit is distinctive and sepa- rates oaks from all other plants. Bear or Black Scrub Oak (565) â Quercus ilicifblia â is a spread- ing shrub 5 to 10 feet high with tangled branches and 3- to 7-lobed leaves, the lobes ending in bristles and the lower side covered with whitish hairs. Chinquapin Oak ââ Quercus prinoidesâis rarely over 8 feet high with wavy-edged leaves having 4 to 8 blunt teeth on each side. [Acorns.] Cast&nea.

A number of trees are in cultivation and many of those which are only shrubby are con- sidered worthy of ornamental use. There is no genus of plants more difficult to separate into species than the willows. All are dioecious, meaning that the pollen-bearing catkins are on one plant, the seed-form- ing catki
