‘The TOME of HEATHER 
Viburnum Carlesi 
By its first name you will asso- 
ciate this new shrub with the 
snowball. But it is very differ- 
ent. Directly above the ground 
the plant branches in all direc- 
tions, forming a_ semi-globe 
about three feet in height. The 
foliage is deep green on the sur- 
face, with a reddish underleaf, 
Each stem terminates in a clus- 
ter of individual tubed flowers 
of waxy texture like the gar- 
denia. The buds are formed in 
the fall, opening in a delightful 
flush pink i in June, changing to 
a pure white. As a cut flower 
y will last ten days, delightfully 
uming an entire room. It 
is Pyaizalitely hardy in the most 
severe climates. 
WITH PERFUME 
Fragrance is the soul of flowers. It 
makes them doubly charming. For 
this reason we feel we are rendering 
a real service in offering a new flower- 
ing shrub—beautiful both in foliage 
and flower and of a most exquisite 
perfume, a delicate sweetness which 
can only be approached by the gar- 
denia, a perfume which permeates 
the garden. This new shrub is called 
VIBURNUM CARLESI 
It is a native of Northern China. You 
will surely want it in your garden.

Rain From a Clear Sky 
When the long, hot, dry days of mid- 
summer come with cloudless skies and 
burning sunshine your lawns and gar- 
dens will welcome the gentle, drenching 
showers that Rain Cloud Nozzles can 
provide. 
The Cornell Overhead and Under 
ground Systems equipped with pat- 
ent Rain Cloud Nozzles provide 
thorough, scientific, economical and 
effective irrigation where and when 
it is wanted and do away with the 
inefhcient and troublesome garden 
hose. 
Note the illustration of the Un- 
derground System in operation on a 
Rain Cloud 
right is notable for the absence of un- 
sightly overhead piping which inter- 
feres with the cultivation of crops and 
which contains small holes likely to 
become clogged. 
Rain Cloud Nozzles supply a gen- 
tle rain at the turn of a valve, giving 
exactly as much water as your garden 
needs, and no more, at the time and 
spot desired. 
Cornell Systems are inexpensive 
and economical in operation and rep- 
resent a distinct saving in water con- 
sumption and cost of labor, by reason 
of even distribution and simplicity of 
control, the turning of a valve being 
country house lawn, giving the effect Wozzceused the only operation. ‘They can be in-
