eiv Type Si',rtzbs For Homes
The contenknorary trend in arch-
itecture toward smaller and lower
homes calls for a change to apialler
and lower shrubs and trees in our
gardens. The old favorites, accord-
ing to R. W. Oliver, Horticulture
Division, Central j erimental
Farm, Ottawa, such as'! eyisuckle,
lilac and even Spiraea Va outtei,
must be placed at some distance
from the house if they are not to
dwarf its appearance.
To match the low horizontal
lines of bungalows, low spreading
masses are needed beneath the pic-
ture windows and to balance odd
projections of the house itss'lf.
To meet this demand, several
little-known shrubs are now ap-
pearing on the market. Some of
these are now hybrids; some were
formerly found only in unusual
collections. A few need more trial
before we can recommend them
as thoroughly hardy, but all are
worth a try at Ottawa and in more
favored climatic zones.
One of the more tender sorts is
Caryopteris Blue Mist which, as
the name implies, is covered in
late summer with clusters of small
blue flowers in the axis of the
leaves. Like Anthony Waterer
Spiraea, it often kills back to the
snow line, but if cut back in spring
produces a good crop of bloom in
August. Some of the Cytisus or
brooms are hardy enough to grow
here in situations covered by snow.
C. Beanii and C. purpureus have
been with us for years but last
winter a new one, C. Burkwoodi,
came through well.
It has attractive bronze -scarlet
flowers and fine, green twigs.
Daphne Burkwoodi has been a
favorite at the Central Experiment-
al Farm for some years now. It
is ostein , eal,le 1 . Somerset and
forms a neat, round bush with
fragrant lavender flowers in spring
and blue -gree ts• foliage. It is less
t isle ental than *. Cneorwr n,
which is the prostrate form used
so often in rock gardens..
Genista tinctoria, the old Dyers
greenwood, has neat, bright green
foliage all season and carries its
yellow, pealike flowers over a long
period in mid to late summer.
The two loev prostrate forms, G.
pilosa and G. sagitalis, are excel-
lent for 'low mats.
Mock oranges are old favorites
but few ndrseriei carry the lower
varieties Dame .Blanche, Manteau
d'Hermine, Silvia and Unique. The
third is a Canadian, originating at
the Experimental Farm at Morden,
Manitoba. All of them can he
kept fairly low.
There are some low growing re-
latives of the flowering almond
that put on a grand show in spring
and have attractive fruit for birds.
Prunus nana, P. japonica and P.
fruticosa are all good three -footers.
Then, of course, there is the
group of shrubs such as barberries,
Ootoneasters and others, the flow-
ers of which are inconspicuous but
which have attractive foliage
through the summer and fruit in
autumn. There is a wealth of suit-
able material but as past demand
for it has not been great it means
more shopping to find a nursery
that stocks the plants you need.

A special meeting of Town Council on Tuesday night dealt with the problem of the sliding bank
on the North Shore -Road. Above is shown why the erosion of the bank is causing concern, with
the top of the bank now only a few feet away from the back fence of one of the properties.
Note, also, how the sliding earth carries down large trees with it. In an effort to stop further
damage, the Council decided Tuesday night to cut off the top& of trees located towards the top
of the bank and to plant more willow trees farther down. In the meantime, an engineer's re-
port is awaited to see what further steps should be taken. —S -S Photo by R. H.
BANKS RESTRAIN CREDIT
TO SUSTAIN PROSPFRIT'Y'
Montetbelilo°,Que., June 22.—The
present policy of credit restraint,
applied by the chartered banks as
a result of the monetary actions
and suggestions of the Bank of
Canada, was designed "to sustain
and prolong, prosperity by not al-
lowing an infiattonery Spree to
take over," it was stated here
today by F .W. Nicks, president of
The Canadian Bankers' Association.
Speaking at the Association's an-
nual meeting, Mr. Nicks said the
presstrre for additional credit dur-
ing the past 12 mantis had been.
unusually strong — so much so
there had been increasing restraint
applied by the Bank of Canada.
"This means," said Mr. Nicks,
"loans have become less easy to
obtain, increases have become dif-
ficult to arrange and, for some
purposes, quite out of the question.
"It may seem strange to talk of
credit restrictions while there is
abundant evidence , of continuing
prosperity for the country at
large," he said. "But we are living
in -an age of, national economic
management, not only in Canada
bqt in all leading nations, and one
of the prime objectives of such
management is to see that booms
do not get out of hand and lay
the - groundwork for depressions."
