FLOWERING SHRUBS 



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; red, white, lavender; a very desirable shrub; flowers 

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



BUTTERriY 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, 

 30c each ; $2.50 for 10. 



BEAUTYBUSH. The attractively leaved bush attains about six feet, the center upright, the outer branches 

 gracefully arching. Has a general resemblance to both Weigela and Honeysuckle, the beautiful trumpet- 

 shaped flowers appearing in great profusion during June in pairs which cluster closely into cymes of 

 about twenty-five. Flowers are bell-shaped and somewhat lipped, pale pink with orange veins in the 

 throat, the buds being much darker. 45c each; 5 for $2.00. 



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; 2 to 3 feet, 

 40c each. 



SNOWBERRY. 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, 30c each; $2.50 for 10; 2 to 3 feet, 40c each. 



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 success with 

 everyone. Perfectly hardy as far north as central New Jer- 

 sey. We have all colors — blue, pink and red. Pine 2 to 3 

 foot trees, 80c each; $7.00 per 10; 18 to 24 inch, 60c 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, 

 25c each; $2.00 for 10; 2 to 3 feet, 30c each; $2.50 for 10; 

 3 to 4 feet, 40c each; 4 to 5 feet, 50c each; 5 to 6 feet, 

 75c 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, 25c each; 

 $2.00 for 10; 2 to 3 feet, 30c each; $2.50 for 10; 3 to 4 feet, 

 40c each; 4 to 5 feet, 50c each. 



DEXJTZIA IaEMOINE. 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. 



KERRIA (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. Ulti- 

 mate height, 6 to 8 feet. No. 1 plants, 18 to 24 inch, 50c 

 each; 2 to 3 feet, 70c each. 



DOG-WOOD (Red-Twigged Dogwood). Good for border group- 

 ings, where the smooth, slender, bright red branches in win- 

 ter make a very pleasing contrast with evergreen and snow. 

 Thrives in shade. Height, 6 to 8 feet. 2 to 3 feet, 25c each; 

 $2.00 per 10; 4 to 5 feet, 45c each; $4.00 per 10; 5 to 6 feet, 

 60C each. EVERBX.OOMING BUTTERFLY BUSH
