minded Americans are
showing an increased in
terest in incorporating
native plants into their home
landscaping. While native
plants have the advantage of

grow m open fields, nor does
the swamp magnolia inhabit
dry, parched soils.
Dunham says many of the
best native plants have been
used in landscaping for

Another excellent native

flowering dogwood, although
quite different. It grows to a
height of about 15 feet, a size
well suited to home land
scapes.
Dunham also suggests the

best shrubs for Fall fruit. In
