Hardy Ornamental Shrubs, continued 



Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora. Blooms for 3 months 



CALYCANTHUS (Allspice; Sweet-scented Shrub, or 

 Strawberry Shrub). 5-6 ft. Slow and sturdy in 

 growth. Spicy, fragrant, dark crimson flowers. 

 No 3-yr. size. 



COTONEASTER horizontalis. A truly charming 

 decorative plant to grow alongside steps on a terrace 

 or on rockeries. Try it wherever a low-growing plant 

 with spreading branches can be used. The foliage 

 is small, thick, and shiny, therefore beautiful at all 

 times, and the dainty pink flowers are followed by 

 vivid scarlet berries which are most effective in 

 contrast with the dark, almost evergreen foliage. 

 Cotoneasters will not carry over the winter in 

 dormant condition, so we have potted plants at 

 35 cts. each; larger size, 75 cts. each, postpaid. 



DEUTZIAS. Profuse-blooming shrubs that come in 

 both tall and dwarf varieties and have many uses. 

 They are entirely covered with flowers in early sum- 

 mer. The dwarf kinds are useful for making low, 

 dense ornamental hedges or for the front of a shrub 

 border. 



D. crenata magnifica. 4-6 ft. The finest of all the 

 Deutzias. Exceptionally large, pure white flowers 

 cover the stems in dense, foamy masses. 



D. crenata rosea. 4—6 ft. A much admired shrub with 

 tassel-like pink flowers that come in great profusion. 



D. crenata, Pride of Rochester. 4-6 ft. White tinged 

 with blush. 



D. gracilis. 2J^-3 ft. White, bell-shaped flowers. 



D. gracilis rosea. 2 3^-3 ft._ Lovely pink flowers in May. 



D. Lemoinei. 3-4 ft. White, cone-shaped flowers. 



EUONYMUS japonicus. A most ornamental shrub 

 with dark, evergreen, varnished foliage. Makes 

 beautiful lawn specimens. 



FORSYTHIA spectabilis. See page 60. April. 5-6 ft. 

 Compact in growth and every branch becomes closely 

 covered with vivid yellow flowers before the foliage 

 appears. Some say this is the most desirable of the 

 Forsythias. 



F. viridissima (Golden Bell). April. 5-8 ft. Long, 

 erect branches covered with bright golden yellow 

 flowers. One of the earliest shrubs to bloom in spring. 

 Most effective, when planted in masses. Both 

 Forsythias should be pruned just after flowering. 



BUSH HONEYSUCKLE (Lonicera Morrowi). See 

 page 60. Fine for making a screen or a background 

 for other shrubs. Grows 8 to 10 ft. The yellow flowers, 

 which come in May, are followed by masses of 

 brilliant scarlet berries which remain on the bushes 

 a long time. One of the most attractive berried 

 bushes. On account of its rapid growth it is espe- 

 cially desirable where a screen is quickly needed. 



HYDRANGEA paniculata grandiflora. Blooms in 

 August, September, and October. Undoubtedly the 

 grandest and most beautiful of all the hardy flower- 

 ing shrubs. The flowers are rich, creamy white, 

 changing to pink, and are borne in immense clusters, 

 often more than a foot long. It blooms in August, 

 ihe first and every succeeding year, and continues in 

 bloom for months. This Hydrangea is entirely hardy, 

 no trouble to grow, ^ and splendid effects can be ob- 

 tained by planting it in masses along driveways, in 

 groups among shrubbery, or as a center for beds. 

 When p'anted alone in oval or circular beds on large 

 lawns, and the plants kept pruned yearly to a height 

 of 3 to 4 feet, this magnificent shrub will delight you 

 with its showy bloom from August to October and 

 produce a lasting effect obtainable from no other 

 hardy plant. See illustration. 



H., Hills of Snow (H. arborescens grandiflora) . Its long 

 flowering season (from June till late August) makes 

 this shrub an acquisition on any lawn. Prune severely 

 in early spring. Makes a compact shrub about 4 feet 

 in height and blooms profusely. See illustration 

 below. 



KERRIA japonica (Corchorus). 2-3 ft. Masses of 

 golden yellow double flowers in April and occasional 

 blooms all summer. 



LILAC, Old-fashioned White (Syringa vulgaris alba). 



8-10 ft. Fragrant white blooms in time for Mothers' 



Day. A favorite with everyone. No 1-yr. size. 

 L., Old-fashioned Purple. Stronger in growth than the 



White Lilac, with light purple flowers. Deliciously 



fragrant and free blooming. No 1-yr. size. 

 L., Persian Red. Purplish red flowers in open panicles, 



borne in great profusion all over the bush. No 1-yr. 



size. 

 L., Persian White. Flowers snow-white. A charming 



bush when in full bloom. No 1-yr. size.
