HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS 



Those marked * may be planted in a shady place. 



♦PHILADELPHIA, Mock Orange 



Very desirable free-blooming shrubs of erect habit and easiest ^culture in any common soil. 



Belle Etoile (new). The milky r white flowers are most unusual in that they have a conspicuous 

 light purple blotch in the center. For fragrance, very little more can be asked than the perfume 

 wafted through the garden by this lovely bush. It's a vigorous but neatly growing shrub, de- 

 velops with age into a good looking plant of about 5 feet in height. It is one of our last importations 

 from France, and a few years ago received the Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. 



Price, $2.50 each; $25.00 doz. 



Innocence (new). The long arching branches carry a wealth of large single alabaster white 

 flowers. So heavily loaded with flowers are the slender branches as to assume the appearance of 

 sheaves of bloom. They are of such purity of whiteness as to make all other Mock Oranges seem 

 gray by comparison. The fragrance is delightful, more delicate, yet more penetrating than that 

 of Jasmine. There is no doubt or question as to the superb quality of this shrub. Its flowers are 

 so intensely white, one constantly marvels at its ethereal effect. A "must" in every garden. Ulti- 

 mate height about 6 feet. 



Price, $2.50 each; $25.00 doz. 



Virginal. Flowers are semi-double, two inches across; very prolific; delightfully fragrant. Main 

 crop of flowers is produced in late May and. June, and a scattering of blossoms throughout the 

 summer. Very vigorous. Height, 6 to 8 feet. 



Price, $1.00 each; $10.00 doz. 



POTENTILLA 



Gold Drop (new). A charming small shrub of such compact growth as. to resemble a small ir- 

 regular shaped mound about 2 tolYi feet high. It is closely and densely covered with small fern- 

 like leaves and studded with intensely brilliant golden yellow buttercup-like flowers from early 

 June until October. This delightful small shrub may be used in front of the shrub border or in the 

 foreground of any perennial planting. It does best in full sun and is hardy in below zero tempera- 

 tures. The original plant was selected from the co nmon Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far superior in 

 both flowering qualities, habit and general appearance. We know of no shrubs which flower so 

 consistently and remain so cheerfully brilliant throughout the entire summer and fall. 



Price. $2.00 each; $20.00 doz,

VIBURNUM 



Burkwoodi. Waxy blush-white and deliciously fragrant, the flowers of this new fragrant* 

 Viburnum are produced in early spring when the leaves are unfolding. They form round, domed 

 clusters, and the gardenia-like fragrance is so sweet, as to pervade a large area. The plant grows 

 about 4 feet high, and 5 to 6 feet in diameter. It likes a well drained, sunny place, with plenty of 

 moisture throughout the season. This is a new jewel for the garden — a real aristocrat. For the 

 small garden where there is room for only the choicest shrubs, the one Viburnum above all others 

 that should be grown is Viburnum Burkwoodi. Foliage brilliant in autumn and persists till late 

 winter. In the southern states, it is semi-everereen. Price, $3.50 each; $i5.00 doz. 



Plicatum, Snowball. The pure white, per- 

 fectly round 3 to 4-inch balls, produced in great 

 quantities during June, above the" artistically 

 wrinkled foliage, make it one of the choicest- 

 one of the most popular. In all, a very com- 

 manding specimen. Height, 8 to 10 feet. 

 Price, $1.00 each; $10.00 doz. 



*WEIGELA, Diervilla 



There is no shrub more deservedly popular.

 should be found in every collection. 



BRISTOL RUBY (NEW) 

 (Plant Patent 492) 



It makes a shapely, thrifty plant with attrac- 

 tive rich green foliage. Color is a soft ruby red 

 shading to garnet crimson; extremely pleasing 

 in effect and without harsh tone. Attaining a 

 height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, it makes a 

 perfectly for red, well-rounded specijnen re- 

 quiring very little pruning because it flowers 

 well from' old wood; no die-back or uneven 

 growth at any time. It has been widely tested, 

 and has proven perfectly hardy. Excellent 

 reports from Vernont and other di'ficult re- 

 gions, fully substantiate our own estimate of 

 its unusual hardiness.
