fails to attract birds; instead the
tree attracts numerous insect pests.

Pro othinking ef replacing the
plum with, perhaps. a Korean
mountain ash GSoerbus  alnifolia}
which produces many berries well
into winter and has few pest pro-
blems.

Along with my usual fall
gardening chotes (including the
replanting of the tulip bulbs | dug
up in June, giving the bulb beds a
healthy dose of bonemeal, etc.),
Vi soon be planting some shrubs
I've been nursing along for some
time.

Last winter f collected a variety
of cuttings from shrubs that pro-
side vood food or cover for
wildlife. 1 kept the cuttings
refrigerated in damp peat moss un-
ti April when 1 put them out in a
planting bed.

A couple of months ago |
transplanted them (to individual
containers ~- from which they’ll
go into the ground soon. I'll group
them by threes and fives; each
group will eventually occupy about
60 to 100 square feet, replacing
much of what is now lawn, These
shrubs include:

© Buttonbush (Cephalanthus oc-
cidentalis), a good, dense wetland
shrub that aiso grows well in yards
and provides food and nesting
cover for birds. Its fragrant

flowers attract butterflies and
hummingbirds.

* American elderberry — (Sam-
bucus canadensis), which has
clusters of large white flowers in
May and June, and black berries in
July and August. The berries ap-
peal to birds as well as to those of
us who like vood = pies and
elderberry wine. The fall foliage is
attractive,

*Silky dogwood (Cornus
amomum), a wood habitat shrub
which has dense reddish or purple
iwigs good for nesting. Its May/
June creamy-white flowers often
autract the spring azure butterflies,
and its blue berries attract birds
from September through
November. fts lovely foliage is
scarlet.

How's your yard doing — as
habitat for both you and your

think of fall planting

wildlife? Right now is a vood tine
to take stock.
