The shrubby potentillas, ° ,or
cinquefoils are •'beeQMiing very
popular for ornamental planting
In Canada. As shrubs for use in
foundation plantings, they are
• extremely serviceable for they

shape one desires, They-willstill
flower, profusely. and keep' on
doing J• so intermittently all
qummer. They endurelong
periods of drought and will
stand up under, the : hot
conditions that often, prevail
near the wills of homes.
'line foliage is , an excellent
background for the showy and
. abundant -buttercup-like yellow
flowers that completely cover
the plants from late May
throughout the summer.
The shrubby cinquefoils are
extremely hardy plants and
tolerate a wide range . of
environmental conditions. They
may be well, used ,.as small
specimens for foundation
plantings; some cultivars, are
especially suited for the "rock
, . gardens and wall gardens; some
do well as edging plants for large
borders and as neat; refined low
hedges. The plants seem to grow
best in full sun, but they will
tolerate partial shade.- They are
not beset by any. particular pest
or insect problems.

The German common name,
Fingerkraut, or Fingerbush,
seems a bit less romantic and
more harsh than the pleasant
sounding Norman-French word
Cinquefoil, so -I have referred 'to
the latter freely here.
It is interesting to note that
the .shrubby, cinquefoils that are
native` to large areas of the
northern hemispheres are
particularly abundant on the
slo . es of the Himalayas. They
have „been found growing on
Tibetan hillsides wheretheir
flowers ranged in color ' from .
white • through" 'cream, butter,
saffron and canary yellow to an
almost orange with the light
ones on the lower slopes and
darker colors at the higher level.
In the collections at the Plant
Research Institute,_ many species
and cultivars • are .- grown,
including :.unnamed selections
sfron , all over Canada and
-cultivars from •many parts of the
world. Since there are few'good
shrubs' under four feet in height
- it is well to look further at the
collection and describe these
that might be best suited for
ornamental planting.

3 years, we've made over 75 improvements. •
To the engine. Suspension. Interior.
Beh'rn°d it rill is our old fashioned n-otiol)
that it makes a Idt more sense to work on Cho

So we devote our time to making parts
