There is a time of spring when all the world seems yellow—with for- sythia and daffodil, spice bush and cornel. There is even a period when blue predominates, with squill, hya- cinth, and grape-hyacinth; and when the magnollus, peaches and early Japanese cherries were at their height, pink filled the streets of Washington. But shis week is a white week, whether in the city or in_the country roundabout. The garden cherries in suburban vards, and the wild cherries, along the woods and creeks of Maryland and Virginia, scatter their dainty charm abroad. The familiar, ever delightful apple is in flower, with its rounded shape, in pleasing contrast to the as- piring upward habit of the snowy pear and the graceful plum. But of them all, the shade busb has {n some ways the most lovely flowers of the week of white spring Llossoms. Graceful and slender, they are as often trees as bushes, and possesing an indubitable sprightly charm. The April showers may shake their bride-white blooms, but cannot harm them. For a brief space they light up all the woods. Tradition has it that they come to bloom just at the time when shad go up the rivers Washington's Izaak Waltons may challenge this, but from this belief least, does the lovely shad brush | take its name.
