HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 



2 to 3 feet 75c each 



Growing in beauty and usefulness year after year, these 

 wonderfully effective plants are being extensively used for 

 permanent corner plantings, hardy borders, hedges, screens 

 to hide unsightly buildings, and foundation plantings. 



Our shrubs are sold strictly according to size, and when 

 making comparison of prices this should be considered. 

 Sizes specified as medium, large, extra large, etc., are very 

 indefinite and misleading. 



Order sufficiently early to secure dormant stock, and plant 

 as soon as possible after frost is out of the ground. 



ALTHEA 



(Rose of Sharon). A very useful shrub, with large, single 

 or double flowers that appear in great profusion in late 

 summer, a time when flowering shrubs are scarce. 



CALYCANTHUS FLORIDUS 



(Sweet Shrub). Chocolate colored, double flowers, pine- 

 apple-scented, fine and glossy foliage. Blooms in June. 



CORNUS 



ALBA SIBIRICA: (White Flowering Dogwood). Bright red 

 bark, porcelain blue fruits. Quick grower. Useful for win- 

 ter effect. 



FLORIDA RUBRA: (Red-Flowering Dogwood). A rare va- 

 riety, the flowers of which are rich rosy red. The two 

 varieties make a fine contrast. 



DEUTZIA 



Profuse blooming shrubs, useful for massing or planting 

 in borders, very attractive. 



GRACILIS: (Slender Deutzia). A small shrub with slender, 

 often arching branches, covered with clouds of pure white 

 flowers in graceful nodding racemes. Good for edging 

 borders. 



CRENATA ROSEA PLENA. Double white, tinged with pink; 

 very desirable tall shrub. Slightly fragrant; June. 

 PRIDE OF ROCHESTER. Vigorous flowers, borne in large 

 panicles, are pinkish white, with under-side of petals, rose. 

 June. 



FORSYTHIA 



FORTUNEI: (Golden Bell). One of the very earliest shrubs 

 to bloom and unsurpassed in splendor and brilliancy by other 

 spring flowering varieties. The tall, arching branches are 

 covered with golden yellow blooms in April. Good as single 

 specimens or as a hedge. 



HYDRANGEA 



ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA ALBA. The snow-white 

 blooms are of the largest size, coming into flower early in 

 June and lasting until late in August. Is more hardy than 

 any other sort and especially suited for shaded places. 

 PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. Without doubt the best- 

 known and most popular summer-flowering Shrub in culti- 

 vation. The flowers, which are borne in dense pyramidal 

 panicles, are white when they first open but gradually change 

 to rose color, and remain in good condition for weeks. They 

 are excellent for planting as specimens or grouped in large 

 beds. 



TREE FORM. A very desirable form of Hydrangea, the 

 branches starting out 3 feet from the ground. Fine for 

 specimens or background.

 flowers with noticeable fragrance. Vigorous grower.

PHILADELPHUS 



VIRGINALE: (Mock Orange). One of the finest new orna- 

 mental shrubs. The flowers are snow-white, large, crested, 

 fragrant, and come in great quantities. The best feature of 

 this variety is its constant bloom, for unlike other Philadel- 

 phua, it blooms throughout the season. Makes splendid 

 specimen plants. 



SPIREA 



ANTHONY WATERER. A perpetual bloomer of dwarf 

 habit, flowering profusely when small. Flowers of a lovely 

 dark crimson-red, borne in dense clusters, and have a pecu- 

 liar feathery appearance. 



PRUNIFOLIA: (Bridal Wreath). One of the best and ear- 

 liest blooming shrubs. Flowers double, white, and very 

 abundant along the stem, handsome dark green shining foli- 

 age, turning orange in autumn. May. 



VAN HOUTTEI. One of the most beautiful spring-blooming 

 shrubs. The arching branches bend to the ground under the 

 immense number of blossoms, making a complete fountain 

 of small white flowers. Beautiful ornament for the lawn 

 at any season.

PLICATUM: (Japanese Snowball). A desirable variety bear- 

 ing an abundance of ball-shaped white flowers, in May. One 

 of the most popular hardy shrubs, having highly ornamental 

 foliage, with purple autumn coloring.

 snowball, bearing large round clusters of pure white flowers 

 in May. Strong growth and spreading habit.
