Hardy Shrubs for 

 Permanent Planting 



Double Japan Snowball 



(VIBURNUM PLICATUM) 



Blooms in early June, when the whole bush is 

 loaded down with great, compact balls of pure 

 white, double flowers. They are borne in such pro- 

 fusion that the entire plant appears one dense mass 

 of bloom; the tree grows erect and bushy, 6 to 8 

 feet high, with deep green leaves peculiarly crimped 

 and crinkled. Wondrously beautiful. Price, all 

 field-grown 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 plants, $1.50 each, by freight or

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 culti- 

 vated as far north as New York and Missouri. It 

 is well worthy of extensive cultivations.
