Hardy Shrubs for 

 Permanent Planting 



Double Japan Snowball 



VIBURNUM PLICATUM)

 great, compact balls of pure white, double flowers. They are borne 

 in such profusion that the entire plant appears one den:e mass of 

 bloom; the tree grows erect and bushy, 6 to 8 feet high, with deep 

 ^reen leaves peculiarly crimped and crinkled. Wondrously beauti- 

 ful. Price, all field-srown plants, one-year size, 25c each, post- 

 paid; two-year size, 65c each; three-year size, 85c each, by 

 freight or express; seven-year size, extra-large specimen

 pense. 



VIBURNUM OPULUS STERILIS (Old-fashioned Snowball)— 

 A strong, hardy grower; pure white flowers. A showy class of 

 shrubs of compact growth, luxuriant foliage and very free flowering. 



Abelia Grandiflora 



(Bush Arbutus) 



Admiring patrons, not knowing of this attractive shrub, write "What 

 treasures we would command if our garden shrubs could only be induced 

 to blossom all summer." It is evident they do not know the dainty 

 Abelia, whose graceful arching branches are decked from early summer 

 until frost with dark bronze-green leaves and numbers of soft white 

 flowers flushed with pink. Quite evergreen in the South, tardily 

 deciduous in the North. If planted in sheltered situations it may be 

 successfully cultivated as far north as New York and Missouri. It is 

 well worthy of extensive cultivations. 



HONEYSUCKLE, BUSH (Lonicera tatarica)— Grows 6 to 10 feet, 

 and blooms early in the spring. An old-fashioned shrub, with 

 sturdy, oak-like habit, good foliage, especially useful for screens and 

 masses. Profusion of lovely white flowers in May and June, followed 

 by translucent berries in the fall.
