HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS 



Those marked * may be planted in a shady place. 



*PHILADELPHUS, Mock Orange 



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



Belle Etoile (new). The milky-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. 



Price, $2.50 each; S25.00 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. Height, 6 feet. 



Price, $2.50 each; $25.00 doz.

 blended into the brighter hues of autumn.

VIBURNUM 



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

 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

 winter. In the southern states, it is semi-evergreen.

Cariesi, Fragrant. One of the choicest shrubs of recent introduction. It is a 'native 

 of Korea and extremely hardy. Sometimes called the Fragrant Viburnum on account of its de-

It makes a shapely, thrifty plant with attractive 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 formed, well-rounded specimen requiring 

 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 Vermont 

 and other difficult regions, fully substantiate our own estimate of its unusual hardiness.
