JAP AX SXO^ BALI.. 



(^Viburnum plicatum.j 



This is one of the most valuable of our hardy shrubs. Foliage olive green 

 through summer, but towards fall it turns much darker and remains on the 

 plant for some time after the first frosts. Flowers, though hardly as large 

 as the old variety, are much more numerous. The leaves are in pairs along 

 the stem, and from the base of each leaf a ball of flowers appears. There 

 are often as many as ten pairs of these, or twenty balls, on a branch 18 

 inches long. These balls, as they expand, all face upward, so that a full 

 view of their great beauty is always to be had.

 in winter; the branches are thickly studded with tiny brown dots or scales, giving: 

 a rustv appearance, contrasting strikingly with the light hue of the foliage, which 

 is silvered on the under surface with little white scales. The abundant crop 

 of orange colored fruit, dotted with small ferruginous specks, is a very attrac-

 large clusters, and each berry is at first tightly enveloped by the large calyx, 

 forming a sort of burr, which is also covered with purplish-red hairs so thickly

 ornament to the garden. For jelly-making, canning and preserving it is without 

 an equal. Plants, 15 cts. each ; $1.00 per doz. Seed per pkt., 10 cts.
