BUCKLEY ,TM .ham Although basically ' Modern gardens are built around plants with beauty of form, teicture, fruits and flowers, there -is- a distinct . advantage in choosing those which, as well as possessing these desirable traits, are also endowed with fragrance. The scent of flower and leaf has a greater nostalgic impact. than the parts of plants we see, and nothing can be more enjoyable than the brief waft of delightful fragrance that arises when a plant is casually brushed as one passes by. In . this article the , I shall briefly mention a feld fragrant • trees and shrubs that might •• form the basis ' for a garden of fragrancg. In the arboretum of the Plant Research Institute one of the best of all flowering trees, the magnificent Bechtel's crab apple, has large flowers two and a half inches across, which, over a period f ter; days, emit a. roselike scent. Its very showy, double pink blooms, not only make the -tree a most attracth crab apple, but also make it worth growing tor scent alone. English writers have described -, its scent as suggestive of violets, but to . me it is more like the most pungent of moss roses.

The littleleaf linden, which many arborists are using for city streets, is, when in bloom, one of the most fragrant ,of the larger trees. Its fragrance, 'although attracting scores of bees during, flowering time, does ' not stupify them in the same way as other lindens do,. Among the fragrant' shrubs are a few that emit fragrance.all summer and not jdst when they flower. These are perhaps more desirable for planting near the entrance to the home. The aromatic shrubby wormwood (Artemisia), for example, is an interesting plant when placed where people may have to brush it slightly as they pass. Similarly, ' the . Carolina allspice (Calycanthus floridus) can be planted 'at a strategic place in the garden, where visitors, ,given a leaf to crush, will soon detect a fruity scent, much like pineapple, mixed with wine and camphor. The flowers of the , plant, produced at the end of June, look like rusty -red incurved chrysanthemums. For centuries lilacs have,,been admired for their scent. Many modern ones, however, lack this delicious attribute. Colborne Twps. honors Ernest Bogie About 40 people attended as turkey banquet in Carlow Hall, Colborne Twp.

Donald Prior; pink; Geranium Red; and Vogue, cherry coral. Among the. climbers . are Climbing American Beauty, Paul's Lemon Pillar and Suttens Golo. The mock orange is, of course, will known for its very heavy scent. However, not all mock oranges have this fragrance, so you should choose the common scented orange (Philadelphus coronarius) or such varieties as Bouquet Blanc or Avalanche. Honeysuckles are also plants which by repute are very heavily scented. About' the climbing English honeysuckle (Lonicera Periclymenum) or common woodbine it has been said that although the indescribably sweet, , spicy scent makes its flowers a delight to the young, it is 'almost too rich and sweet for those of middle age or older. The common woodbine is not truly hardy in Ottawa but can be pulled through the. winters if it -is- 1- allowed to creep along the ground under protective bushes, preferably in half -shade. It is quite hardy in southern Ontario and of course it is a favorite in the milder parts of' British Columbia. The Korean Spice- viburnum (Viburnum carlesi) is a neat, four -foot shrub with exquisite, white, strongly scented flowers.' The heavy fragrance is aromatic, almost clovelike and similar to the sweet jasmine (Jasminum. officinale) which along with the Mexican orange (Chois ya. ternata), rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis) and the lily of the valley shrub ormountain pieris (Pieris floribunda), forms _ a group of sweet scented shrubs recommended for Pacific Coast gardeners. - FrnalTy, two old stand-bys deserve mention: the early spring blooming , flowering currant (Ribes aureum), . with golden -yellow sweet -scented flowers, and the meadowsweet (Spiiaea .alba), which has an odor redolent of wild pastures.
