 ish flowers in July and August, and these are succeeded 

 by white berries that last well into the winter. 



Japan Snowball (Viburnum plkatum) 

 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

Free-Flowering Weigelas

 are crimson, with creamy markings, and are borne in great quantities.

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

 shrubbery borders.

 profusion. Blooms throughout the summer. 



Rosea. Rose-pink flowers in such profusion they almost cover the bush. 



PuSSV W^illoW ^^^^^^ Caprea). A small tree with upright 

 J branches. Catkins very numerous, appearing 



before the leaves. Very early. 2-yr. size only.
