BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES, Princess Anne, Maryland 



Ornamental Shrubbery 



In many cases it would be better to plant Shrubs in groups of several to 

 one side of the lawn instead of following- the method of planting one in a 

 certain place and spoiling the effect of the open lawn. In most cases, three, 

 six, eight, or twelve of one variety should be used in a particular grouping. 

 Several such groupings make an excellent border or foundation planting. 



ALTHEA (Rose of Sharon). Double assorted colors, a very desirable shrub, 

 flowers large in late summer. 2 to 3 ft., 30c each; $2.50 for 10. 



BUTTERFLY BUSH. So named because blooms attract large numbers of 

 butterflies. Blooms profusely, lilac colored tapering panicles. 6 to 10 inches 

 long. Height 3 to 4 feet. No. 1 plants, 2 year, 18 to 24 inch, 35c each; 

 $3.00 for 10. 



INDIAN CURRANT. A slender branched upright shrub, valuable for planting 

 in shady places, as the foliage is very persistent; the fruit is purplish red. 

 18 to 24 inch, 30c each; $3.00 for 10. 



SNOWBEKRY. An upright low- growing shrub with pink flowers in July. 

 Showy white berries in fall. Very effective in mass in the shrubbery border. 

 18 to 24 inch, 35c each; $3.00 for 10. 



CREPE MYRTLE. Too much cannot be said in favor of the delicate-flowered 

 Lagerstroemia, producing throughout the summer great clusters of delicately 

 fringed flowers. Makes the most charming flowering hedge known. A suc- 

 cess with everyone. Perfectly hardy as far north as central New Jersey. 

 We have all colors — Blue, Pink and Red. Pine 2 to 3 ft. trees, 90c each; 

 $10.00 per dozen; 3 to 4 ft., $1.05 each. 



DEUTZIA-CRENATA. A very hardy shrub with luxuriant foliage and a 

 profusion of double white flowers tinged with rose, produced in late June on 

 long racemes. 18 to 24 inch, 30c each; $2.50 for 10; 2 to 3 ft., 40c each; 

 $3.00 for 10; 3 to 4 feet, 50c each; 4 to 5 feet, 60c each. 



DEUTZIA (Pride of Rochester). Produces large white flowers, tinged with 

 rose; vigorous grower, profuse bloomer and one of the earliest flowers to 

 bloom. 18 to 24 inch, 30c each; $2.50 for 10; 2 to 3 ft., 40c each; $3.00 for 10. 



DEUTZIA LEMOINE. Somewhat dwarf habit of growing. In June the plants 

 are literally covered with snow-white flowers. 18 to 24 inch, 40c each; 

 $3.50 for 10. 



EERRIA (Kerria japonica). Another old garden favorite that becomes a mass 

 of golden yellow, globe-shaped flowers in mid-spring. The branches remain 

 green in the winter. Ultimate height, 6 to 8 feet. No. 1 plants, 18 to 24 

 inch, 60c each. 



Weigrelia Rosea. 



DOG- WOOD (Red-Twig-g-ed Dogwood). Good for border groupings, 

 where the smooth, slender, bright red branches in winter make 

 a very pleasing contrast with evergreen and snow. Thrives in 

 shade. Height 6 to 8 feet. 3 to 4 ft., 50c each; $4.00 per 10; 

 4 to 5 feet, 65c; $5.00 for 10. 



DOGWOOD (Pink-Flowering). This is a colored form of the native 

 species of Dogwood, resembling it very closely in habits of 

 growth, period of bloom and general behavior, bright deep rose- 

 colored blossoms. Nice 2 to 3 ft. trees, $3.00 each. 



FORTUNE'S FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell). Medium size; flowers 

 are of a bright yellow and appear before the leaves verv early in 

 the spring. 2 to 3 ft. hushes, 30c each; $2.50 for 10; 3 to 4 ft., 

 45c each; 4 to 5 ft. 50c. 



FORSYTHIA (Intermedia). One of the most floriferous. It blooms 

 so early it is frequently covered with its bright golden flowers 

 while the ground is still covered with snow. It does not grow as 

 tall as the Fortunei. 2 to 3 ft. plants, 30c each; $2.50 for 10; 



3 to 4 ft., 40c each; $3.50 for 10; 4 to 5 ft., 50c each; $4.50 for 10. 

 PORSYTHIA (Viridissima). Of the same habits of growth as the 



Fortunei. The flowers are a little deeper yellow and somewhat 

 twisted. 2 to 3 in. plants, 30c each; $2.50 for 10; 3 to 4 ft., 40c; 



4 to 5 ft., 50c. 



HYPERICUM (Prolificum). A free flowering shrub that thrives on 

 most any soil. Continuous bloomer from July to September. Of 

 dwarf habit of growth and particularly desirable for a succession 

 of lemon-yellow flowers. 18 to 24 inch, 40c each; $3.50 per 10.
