Viburnum dentatum, 



ARROW- WOOD. 



Garden and Forest, in the August 25th number, illustrates this beautiful Viburnum, and says : " The Arrow- 

 wood, Viburnum dentatum, is the most conspicuous small-flowered member ot its family, for, unlike the others 

 of this group, it is not restricted to damp ground and shaded woodland belts, but grows equally well on dry 

 banks and open fields. The foliage is so clean and healthy-looking all summer long, with a striking red mar- 

 ginal coloration in autumn ; the white cymes of blossoms are so showy, succeeded by almost equally showy blue 

 berries, that one might suppose it a plant worthy of attention, but in central Pennsylvania all the specimens that 

 have ever come under my observation have been in a wild state. Of course, this Viburnum, like our other native 

 species, is beautiful anywhere, for, taken as a class, there are no handsomer shrubs in our forest glades. But it 

 does seem almost unaccountable that shrubs adapted to every use and situation should have been so universally 

 neglected by American planters." 



We have a splendid stock of this Viburnum of all sizes, 'as well as 



New & Rare Ornamental Trees, Shrubs & Vines. 



New descriptive, illustrated catalogue mailed for six cents in stamps. A unique feature in our catalogue is 

 that trees of all sizes are priced, from small seedling plants to large and well-developed ones for immediate 

 effect, and for single specimens or for large quantities.
