Shrub: 



BUSH HONEYSUCKLE (Loni- 

 cera \Iorrowi). See illustration 

 above. Grows 8 to 10 feet and 

 makes a magnificent background 

 or screen in a short time. Yellow 

 Honeysuckle flowers come in 

 masses over the bush in May, 

 followed by the red berries which 

 stay on a long time. Very rapid 

 grower. 



FORSYTHIA spectabilis (Golden 

 Bells). This is the earliest to 

 bloom of all the flowering shrubs 

 and an immense improvement 

 over old Forsythias. It is com- 

 pact in growth and every branch 

 is closely covered with vivid 

 yellow flowers before the foliage 

 appears. See cut above. 



SWEET SHRUB (Calycanthus 

 floridus). Spicy, fragrant, ma- 

 roon-colored flowers that ccme 

 all summer. Sometimes it is 

 simply called "Shrub."

ALTHEA or ROSE OF SHARON (Hibiscus syriacus). The Altheas 

 flower at a time when there are few other flowers blooming — during July 

 and August. They grow erect, 6 to 8 feet high, and are useful for tall 

 hedges. When in full bloom, they are extremely beautiful and where an 

 upright, tall, formal hedge is wanted, one that will produce quantities of 

 bloom, Altheas are recommended. 

 They are not spreading in growth so 

 should be planted 12 to 18 inches 

 apart. We have three varieties: 



A., Jeanne d'Arc. Large, double, pure 

 white _ flowers like roses. Makes a 

 beautiful formal hedge. 



A., William R. Smith. Magnificent, 

 snow-white, single flowers of giant 

 size from July till late in September. 



A., Double Pink. Dark pink flowers. 



BEAUTY FRUIT (Callicarpa pur- 

 purea). Grows 3 to 4 feet high, with 

 masses of tiny pink flowers in Au- 

 gust, followed by clusters of violet- 

 purple berries. 



DEUTZIA crenata magnifica. Flowers 

 like driven snow come in great fluffy 

 bunches along the branches. The 

 best Deutzia. 



HYDRANGEA paniculata grandiflora. 

 Probably the most popular flowering 

 shrub grown. Immense bloom- 

 heads, often 12 inches long, are 

 borne in great conical clusters from 

 July till frost. Will grow to 10 feet, 

 but can be kept any size by pruning. 



H. arborescens grandiflora. Called 

 "Hills of Snow" or Snowball Hy- 

 drangea. Blooms five weeks earlier 

 than the one described above. 

 Lasting, snow-white flowers during 

 June and July. Grows to about 

 4 feet. 



JAPAN SNOWBALL (Viburnum ply 

 caturn). Pure white flowers in 

 globular clusters resembling balls of 

 snow, 4 to 5 inches in diameter. 

 Grows 8 to 10 feet tall and blooms 

 in June. Will do in part shade. 



LILAC, Old-fashioned White (Syringa 

 vulgaris alba). 8-10 ft. Fragrant 

 white blooms in time for Mothers' 

 Day. A favorite with everyone. No 

 i-yr. size. 



L., Old-fashioned Purple. Stronger in 

 growth than the White Lilac, with 

 light purple flowers. Deliciously 

 fragrant and free blooming. No 

 i-yr. size. 



L., Persian Red. Purplish red flowers 

 in open panicles, borne in great pro- 

 fusion all over the bush. No i-yr. 

 size. 



L., Persian White. Flowers snow- 

 white. A charming bush when in 

 full bloom. No i-yr. size. 



SPIRAEA, Bridal Wreath (Spiraea 

 prunijolia) . Double white flowers 

 like little roses cover the branches 

 early in spring. 



S., Van Houttei. Profuse bloomer in 

 May and June. Pure snow-white 

 flowers borne in plume-shaped clus- 

 ters. The most graceful of flowering 

 shrubs. 



SNOWBERRY (Symphoricarpos 

 racemosus). A shrub that suc- 

 ceeds well in shaded locations. 

 It is hardy; produces small white 

 or pinkish flowers in July and 

 August with white berries fol- 

 lowing, like illustration above. It 

 grows to about 5 ft. in height. 



RED SPIR^A, Anthony Waterer. 

 Perpetual blooming. See illustra- 

 tion above. Shapely bushes 2 to 3 

 feet high, blooming continuously 

 almost from the start. Makes a 

 neat, low-growing and continuous 

 blooming hardy hedge.
