Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi.
Hedera Helix and vars. (Ivy). The bush forms might be included, all of
which flower in winter and have berries.

Vinca minor (Lesser Periwinkle).

It must not be forgotten that our British evergreens flourish in the
coldest parts of Yorkshire in a climate that may be considered the most
trying for vegetation in the British Isles. Hollies and Rhododendrons,
where planting has been done on the hillsides, may be seen as quite
large trees. The New Zealand Olearia Haasti may also be seen there--7
feet to 8 feet high and as much through.

CHAPTER XXX

SHRUBS FOR SMALL GARDENS

It is possible in small gardens to grow many beautiful shrubs without
constant cutting of the branches to keep them within set bounds. Those
mentioned in the following list will grow in ordinary soil. Transplant
during late autumn and early winter; and one golden rule to observe in
the case of shrubs obtained from nurseries is to plant them in their
permanent position as soon as possible after they are received, but
should anything occur to prevent this, the roots must be well covered
with soil till planting takes place. In winter large numbers of plants
are sold at auction rooms, but though they may appear cheap, this is not
always so, as there is no guide to the length of time they have been out
of the ground, and in a dry atmosphere many of the smaller roots may
have perished. Such plants take a long time to recover from the check.
If trees or shrubs are bought at a local nursery, there is the great
advantage of getting them in the ground again as soon as possible. The
shrubs named are fully described elsewhere in this book.

_Aucubas_, 3 to 6 feet. Evergreen shrubs, some with variegated, others
with plain green leaves. The male and female forms are separate. If the
latter are fertilised, bright-red berries result.

_Azaleas_, 3 to 6 feet. For moist and peaty soil.

_Berberis Aquifolium_, 4 feet; _B. Darwinii_, 6 to 8 feet; _B.
stenophylla_, 6 to 8 feet; _B. Thunbergi_, 2 to 3 feet; _B. vulgaris
purpurea_, 5 to 6 feet (a purple-leaved variety of the Common Barberry).

_Cornus Spaethii_, 4 feet. This has rich
