HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS, continued &££%* 

 Hydrangea arborescens grandiflora 



("Hills of Snow," or Snowball Hydrangea.) See cut 



Blooms five weeks earlier than //. paniculata 

 grandiflora. Produces exquisite, lasting, snow-white 

 flowers during June and July when few other shrubs 

 are in bloom. A shrub you will be proud to own. 



Lilac, Persian Red 



The most universally popular flowering shrub. 

 Reddish purple flowers in open clusters. Very 

 free blooming. Prices at foot of page. 



bllOwberry (Symphoricarpos racemosus) 



A small, native shrub that succeeds in shaded loca- 

 tions. It is quite hardy, produces small white or pink- 

 ish flowers in July and August, and these are succeeded 

 by white berries that last well into the winter. 



Japan Snowball (Viburnum plicatum) 



Flowers are pure white and come in dense, 

 globular clusters resembling balls of snow, each 

 cluster being 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and they 

 fairly cover the bush. It grows 8 to 10 feet in 

 height with strong, crinkled, dark green leaves. A 

 most attractive shrub when in full bloom in June. It 

 will bloom in partial shade. See illustration below.

Spiraea Van Houttei. Blooms in May and June. One of the

 flowers borne in elegant, plume-shaped clusters. 



Red Spirea, Anthony Waterer, Perpetual-blooming. Makes nice, 

 shapely bushes 2 to 3 feet high; begins to bear its large flat 

 clusters of rich rosy red flowers almost as soon as planted, and 

 continues blooming all summer and fall. 



Spirea prunifolia (Bridal Wreath). Makes a profusion of dainty, 

 double white flowers like little rosettes. A most popular shrub. 



Viburnum plicatum (Japan Snowball)

Free-Flowering Weigela 



Eva Rathke. Red. Considered the handsomest of all the Weigelas. The 

 flowers are crimson, with creamy markings, and are borne in great quan- 

 tities. This variety blooms all summer and is, without question, the 

 choicest shrub in this class. It is low-growing and spreading in habit, 

 therefore it should be planted alone or in clumps or else on the outside 

 of shrubbery borders. 



Candida (\\ hite Weigela). A strong, erect-growing bush with heavy 

 foliage. The snow-white, bell-shaped flowers come in great profusion 

 along the branches, as shown in the illustration, and the bush is 

 in bloom all summer. 



Rosea. The lovely rose-pink flowers come in such profusion that they 

 almost hide the foliage. One of the finest shrubs.
