Deciduous and Ever- 

 green Shrubs 



CALYCANTHUS (AUspice) 

 Sweet Scented or Strawberry Shrub — A 



neat and compact old-fashioned shrub, 

 growing up to 6 feet in height. Carries 

 large, glossy green foliage, and bears great 

 numbers of odd, double, chocolate-purple 

 flowers which have a spicy and strawberry- 

 like fragrance. Flowers borne intermittently 

 throughout the summer. 18 to 24 in., 75c 

 each. 



CLETHRA (Sweet Pepper Bush) 

 AInifolia — A handsome little shrub which 

 bears long spikes of creamy-white, fragrant 

 flowers in July and August. This abun- 

 dant bloom, added to its excellent, dense, 

 light green foliage, renders it especially 

 valuable for shrub borders and founda- 

 tion plantings. 18 to 24 in., 75c each. 



CORNUS (Dogwood) 



These wonderful dwarf trees and shrubs 

 possess a triple value in attractiveness of 

 foliage, flower and fruit, not to mention 

 the bright coloring of their bark. They 

 thrive even in shade, and add a touch of 

 color to every season of the year.
