About this book
Hardy Ornamental Flowering Trees and Shrubs is a book by Angus D. Webster. The preface to the first edition, 1893, says the monotonous repetition, in at least nine-tenths of our Parks and Gardens, of such Trees as the Elm, the Lime, and the Oak, and such Shrubs as the Cherry Laurel and the Privet, is neither necessary nor desirable.
The text says hard cutting back of the Amorpha when full size has been attained would seem to throw fresh vigour into it, and that the flowering is greatly enhanced by such a mode of treatment. ANDROMEDA POLIFOLIA is described as an indigenous shrub of low growth, with lanceolate shining leaves, and pretty globose pinky-white flowers. M. GRANDIFLORA is given as North America, 1737, one of the handsomest species, with very large, glossy, evergreen leaves and creamy-white flowers that are often fully 6 inches across. A list headed AUGUST names plants including Abelia chinensis.
