VIBURNUM OPULIS STERILIS. 



VIBURNUM. 



A class of highly ornamental and very useful 

 strong-growing shrubs of easy culture, well adapted 

 to all good soils. The varieties we offer are quite dis- 

 tinct in habit of growth, foliage and flowers, and are 

 all very desirable. 



V. Lantana — Handsome foliage, whitish underneath; 

 flowers white, borne very freely in dense cymes, 

 succeeded by an abundance of berries, which are at 

 first red, gradually turning to black. 

 "V. Opulis (High or Bush Cranberry) — Resembles the 

 common Snowball in its wood and foliage. The pure 

 white single flowers are borne in great clusters, 

 succeeded in fall by bunches of berries resembling 

 Cranberries, which hang on the plants until de- 

 stroyed by late frosts. 

 "V. Opulis Sterilis (Common Snowball) — A well-known 

 favorite shrub of large size, with globular clusters 

 of white flowers in June. 

 V. Plicatiim (Japanese Snowball) — One of the 

 best shrubs in cultivation; grows upright and 

 bushy; foliage attractive; flowers white, pro- 

 duced very abundantly in large heads. Each 

 50c; per doz. $5.00. Extra large, each $1.00. 

 Each, except where noteil, 25c; doz. $2.50. 



KOSA RUBIFOLIA. 



This Rose is remarkable because of its colored foliage, which in 

 early spring Js a rich reddish-purple, changing as the season ad- 

 vances into a reddish-green, rendering the plant exceedingly attrac- 

 tive and very useful for planting in groups of shrubbery in com- 

 bination with many other equally desirable things, where striking 

 contrasts in colors are desirable. The plant is a good grower, per- 

 fectly hardy, light and graceful, yet bushy in its habit, and produces 

 quantities of single pink flowers early in summer. Each 30c; per 



doz. $3.00. 



RUBUS — Bramble. 



Robust growing shrubs, especially desirable for massing where 



a wild natural effect is desired. 



B. Odoratus (Flowering Raspberry) — A very desirable shrub with 

 large foliage and handsome rosy-purple flowers, which are pro- 

 duced in great profusion. Each 25c; per doz. $2.50. 



SAMBUCXJS — Elder. 



S. Nigra Aurea (Golden Elder) — A most attractive and very ornamen- 

 tal shrub. The foliage is large and of the richest golden yellow; 

 very effective and invaluable for grouping to produce striking con- 

 trasts. 



S. Nigra Varicgata — This is also a beautiful shrub, having handsome 

 foliage variegated with silver and green. 

 Each 25c; per doz. $2.50. 



SYMPHOBICABPTJS. 



■ Exceedingly interesting and very ornamental dwarf shrubs, of 

 the easiest culture; admirably adapted for grouping on the lawn or 

 in masses of shrubbery in almost any situation, even succeeding 

 very well in the shade of overhanging trees, where few shrubs will 

 grow at all. They are especially valuable for their ornamental ber- 

 ries, which show to advantage in the fall and winter months. 

 Raceinosus (Snowberry) — A very pretty and interesting shrub; pink- 

 ish white flowers followed by white berries. 

 S. Vulgaris — This variety bears red berries; an excellent shrub. 

 Each 25c; per doz. $2.50. 



SYBINGA — Lilac. 



These old favorites are so well known that any description would 

 seem superfluous. Suffice to say they are indispensable. 

 S. Persica (Persian Lilac) — A very popular plant; flowers purple. 

 S. Vulgaris (Common Lilac) — Larger foliage than the former; flowers 



purple. 

 S. Alba — Flowers pure white. 

 Each 25c; per doz. $2.50. 



TAMABIX AFBICANA. 



A most attractive plant with long, gracefully bending, slender- 

 growing but strong branches and delicate, feathery foliage. It bears 

 a profusion of small pink blossoms in May and June. 



Each 30c; per doz. $3.00. 



WEIGELA. 



Either as a single specimen or in groups the 

 "Weigela is certainly one of the most effective 

 and most satisfactory shrubs we know of. 



W. Candida — A very valuable shrub of upright 

 growth; flowers trumpet-shaped, white. 



\V. Floribunda — A profuse bloomer; flowers dark 

 crimson. 



W. Bosea — Perhaps the most popular shrub yet

 above; contrasts very pleasingly with other 

 shrubs; foliage green, margined with creamy 

 white, flowers pink.

 but the flowers are much darker; very de- 

 sirable.
