*Veronica |Garden Origin |Purple; |A neat evergreen shrub with
Andersonii |(Scrophul- |Summer |dense spikes of
|arineae) |and |bluish-purple blossoms in
| |Autumn |great profusion for a long
| | |period. Near the sea, in
| | |especially favoured spots,
| | |it is delightful, while in
| | |other districts it forms a
| | |valuable subject for
| | |greenhouse or conservatory.
| | |Of the numerous other
| | |garden forms belonging to
| | |this section the following
| | |are all good: Blue Gem,
| | |light blue; Bolide,
| | |reddish; Celestial, sky
| | |blue, light centre; La
| | |Seduisante, rich
| | |reddish-purple; Marie
| | |Antoinette, pink; Purple
| | |Queen, rich purple; and
| | |Reine des Blanches, white.
| | |
V. hulkeana |New Zealand |Pale |Very distinct; it has large
| |lavender; |terminal panicles of pale
| |May and |lavender flowers.
| |June |
| | |
*V. Traversii |New Zealand |Pale |The hardiest of all the
| |mauve; |shrubby Veronicas; it is
| |June and |a dense box-like bush, with
| |July |a profusion of dense spikes
| | |of flowers. In the
| | |neighbourhood of London
| | |this is a thoroughly good
| | |shrub of easy culture.
| | |
Viburnum |Caprifoliaceae |...... |The Viburnum family
| | |includes several beautiful
| | |shrubs, and of the thirty
| | |or forty species and
| | |varieties in cultivation at
| | |least six are
| | |indispensable, _i.e._ no
| | |good shrub garden is
| | |without them. Most of them
| | |are vigorous in growth and
| | |easily propagated; they
| | |like a fairly rich soil
| | |and moisture at the root.
| | |Several of the American
| | |species grow naturally in
| | |damp, more or less shady
| | |woodlands. Taken
| | |collectively the Viburnums
| | |possess a variety of
| | |attractions. Some species
| | |are evergreen, and thus
| | |useful Winter plants;
| | |others are amongst the most
| | |beautiful shrubs for their
| | |flowers, others again, like
| | |our native Guelder Rose (V.
| | |Opulus), have showy fruits;
| | |finally the foliage of
| | |several of the deciduous
| | |species dies off rich red
| | |or yellow tints.
| | |
V. dentatum |North America. |White; |The American Viburnums are
(Arrow-wood) |Introduced in |June and |not apparently so valuable
|1763 |July |in the British Isles as in
| | |their native country. Most
| | |of them are handsome
| | |vigorous bushes, but
| | |without the same flower
| | |attractions as plicatum,
| | |macrocephalum, and the
| | |Guelder Rose (V. Opulus
| | |var. sterile). Many of
| | |them, however, bear very
| | |showy fruits in their own
| | |country, and the leaves
| | |turn to beautiful Autumn
| | |tints. V. dentatum is
| | |deciduous, free-growing,
| | |leaves bright green, deeply
| | |toothed and strongly
| | |veined. The trusses are 3
| | |inches to 4 inches across,
| | |the flowers white, and
| | |fertile. It is one of the
| | |handsomest as regards
| | |flowers of the American
| | |Viburnums. The dark-blue
| | |fruit ripens neither
| | |abundantly nor regularly
| | |in England.
| | |
V. Lantana |Britain, also |White; |A beautiful native shrub.
(Wayfaring tree) |Europe North and|May and |Its chief beauty is in the
|Western Asia, |June |colour of the flowers and
|and N. Africa | |the gorgeous Autumn leaf
| | |tints. Groups of this are
| | |pictures of colour in
| | |Autumn. The fruit, at first
| | |black and afterwards red,
| | |soon disappears before the
| | |birds. The tree grows
| | |rapidly and generally
| | |attains a height of about
| | |12 or 15 feet; the leaves
| | |are large and downy. The
| | |wayfaring tree should be
| | |more planted in English
| | |gardens. It will grow
| | |almost anywhere. There are
| | |two variegated-leaved
| | |varieties, but these we
| | |know little about, and we
| | |care more for the type than
| | |any golden variegation.
| | |
V. macrocephalum |China and Japan.|Pure white|This must be included, but
|Introduced from | |it is not very hardy. Mr.
|China in 1844 by| |Bean, writing of it in _The
|Fortune | |Garden_, November 17, 1900,
| | |p. 361, says: "The shrub
| | |known under this name is a
| | |cultivated form of a
| | |Chinese species, in which
| | |all the flowers have, under
| | |artificial influences,
| | |become sterile. The wild
| | |plant to which it belongs
| | |is also in cultivation, and
| | |is known as V. Keteleeri.
| | |In this type plant the
| | |middle of the truss is
| | |filled with perfect
| | |flowers, the edges only
| | |being occupied with the
| | |large and showy sterile
| | |ones. V. macrocephalum is
| | |by far the most striking
| | |plant, its large, rounded
| | |or pyramidal trusses of
| | |pure white flowers being
| | |unequalled among the
| | |Viburnums. The plant is,
| | |however, better adapted for
| | |growing in pots for
| | |greenhouse decoration or as
| | |a wall plant than it is as
| | |a shrub in the open. In my
| | |experience it is scarcely
| | |hardy enough to assume its
| | |best character without some
| | |sort of protection.
| | |Although hard winters may
| | |not kill it outright they
| | |seriously cripple it. It is
| | |only in recent years that
| | |it has attained popularity,
| | |but it has long been
| | |known."
| | |
V. Opulus (the |Britain, Europe |White; |Of the two species of
Guelder Rose). It |and Northern |May and |Viburnum this is the better
is called in |hemisphere |June |known, and is the more
America the | | |valuable as a garden shrub.
Cranberry bush or | | |It grows to a height of
High Cranberry | | |from 10 to 15 feet, and is
| | |easily known by the
| | |beautiful lobed Maple-like
| | |leaves, which die off
| | |brilliant crimson shades.
| | |Sterile as well as fertile
| | |flowers are produced on
| | |each truss, the flowers
| | |being white and
| | |three-quarters of an inch
| | |across. But the wild
| | |Guelder Rose is in its
| | |fullest beauty in Autumn
| | |when the fruits change to
| | |brilliant red, and the
| | |leaves gradually assume
| | |their gorgeous colouring.
| | |As this species appreciates
| | |moisture it is a noble
| | |shrub to make groups of in
| | |moist places, such as by
| | |stream, pond, river, or
| | |moist margin. The beauty of
| | |the wild Guelder Rose is
| | |not realised by many
| | |planters of gardens. Its
| | |colouring is intense. In
| | |the "Cyclopedia of American
| | |Horticulture" it is
| | |mentioned: "Handsome native
| | |shrub, very decorative in
| | |fruit, which begins to
| | |colour by the end of July,
| | |remains on the branches,
| | |and keeps its bright
| | |scarlet colour until the
| | |following Spring. The
| | |berries are not eaten by
| | |birds."
| | |
V. O. sterile |Variety. Origin |White; |This is too well known to
(Snowball tree) |unknown |early June|need description. It is a
| | |graceful shrub, its
| | |branches bent with the
| | |weight of the rounded
| | |flower trusses. As in the
| | |case of V. macrocephalum
| | |and of V. plicatum the
| | |small and insignificant
| | |fertile flowers have become
| | |transformed by cultivation
| | |into large barren ones, and
| | |the truss also loses its
| | |flattened shape and becomes
| | |rounded or conical. It
| | |appreciates a moist soil.
| | |
V. rhytidophyllum |China |Yellow |A handsome evergreen shrub,
| |white |introduced by Messrs.
| | |Veitch. Ornamental foliage,
| | |and in September the
| | |berries turn to a rich red
| | |colour.
| | |
V. tomentosum |Japan |Cream |A very graceful shrub but
Mariesi | |white |little known. The sterile
| | |flowers are on the outer
| | |edge of the flat cymes, and
| | |line the spreading shoots.
| | |We hope it will soon be
| | |plentiful.
| | |
V. tomentosum var. |Japan. |Ivory |We have used the word
plicatum |Introduced by |white |tomentosum as plicatum is a
|Fortune in 1844 | |variety of that species. V.
| | |tomentosum itself is a
| | |handsome shrub with big,
| | |flattish cymes and
| | |creamy-white sterile
| | |flowers round the margin of
| | |the truss. That known as V.
| | |plicatum, a sterile form of
| | |V. tomentosum, is a
| | |beautiful shrub; the most
| | |precious perhaps of the
| | |whole family. It makes a
| | |glorious group on the lawn,
| | |and in early June the
| | |spreading shoots are so
| | |thickly covered with flower
| | |clusters that scarcely a
| | |vestige of the dark-green,
| | |wrinkled leafage is
| | |visible. It is quite hardy,
| | |but in the north it will be
| | |wise to choose a sheltered
| | |position for it. As a wall
| | |shrub too it is valuable,
| | |and a specimen on a wall in
| | |the Royal Horticultural
| | |Society's gardens at
| | |Chiswick is quite a mass of
| | |bloom every year. Passers
| | |by who know not the shrub
| | |wonder what it is making so
| | |thick a mantle of white. It
| | |grows 4 to 5 feet high in
| | |the British Isles, taller
| | |in its native country; the
| | |trusses of flowers are
| | |erect on short branches,
| | |and each measure about 3
| | |inches across. Being in
| | |pairs they make a striking
| | |double row on every branch.
| | |V. plicatum must come into
| | |the smallest list of
| | |flowering shrubs.
| | |
V. Tinus |South of Europe |White; |This is a well-known
(Laurustinus) |and North of |flowers in|evergreen shrub, and quite
|Africa. |Winter |hardy in the south of these
|Introduced in |in the |Isles, where its planted as
|1596 |south, but|a hedge. Even when out of
| |much |flower the bush has a
| |depends |certain beauty owing to its
| |upon |shining green leaves. Near
| |locality |London it succeeds. Many
| | |things considered hardier
| | |get severely injured when
| | |the Laurustinus escapes.
| | |North and easterly winds
| | |are harmful to it. There
| | |are several varieties.
| | |Lucidum is the finest; the
| | |leaves and corymbs are
| | |larger than those of the
| | |type, the former being of a
| | |very glossy green and
| | |smooth. In lucidum the
| | |leaves and branches are
| | |woolly, whilst there are
| | |also purpureum, with
| | |purplish leaves, and a
| | |variegated variety, but
| | |neither is of value.

*Xanthoceras |North China |White; |A beautiful tree, but
sorbifolia | |stained |seldom seen in English
| |with red |gardens. The following note
| |in the |appeared in _The Garden_
| |centre; |about it: "This tree does
| |Spring |not appear to be widely
| | |grown, and I have heard
| | |doubts expressed as to its
| | |being hardy enough to stand
| | |the winter in some
| | |districts. Not long ago I
| | |saw a fine specimen in a
| | |Kentish rectory garden. The
| | |tree is 5 feet or 6 feet
| | |high, and under the shelter
| | |of a thick hedge of
| | |Laurustinus it flowers
| | |freely every year, and also
| | |produces fruit. The long
| | |white and slightly tinted
| | |blooms, which change to
| | |purple, are very effective,
| | |but one rarely gets an
| | |opportunity of seeing this
| | |interesting tree in flower.
| | |Perhaps this is because it
| | |does not belong to the
| | |common order of things, or
| | |else it is not
| | |accommodating enough for
| | |general culture, but it is
| | |very beautiful." The
| | |Xanthoceras is sometimes
| | |trained against a wall, but
| | |its growth is too stiff for
| | |the purpose. The flowers
| | |are in dense spikes about 6
| | |inches long, reminding one
| | |of the Horse-Chestnut, and
| | |are an inch across
| | |individually. The foliage
| | |is very ornamental, and
| | |each leaf-stalk has seven
| | |pinnate, serrated,
| | |bright-green leaves. Apt to
| | |get spoilt by frost,
| | |however.
