VIBURNUMS 
Japan  Snowball  (  Viburnum  plicatum).  A  neat  habit  and  the  fact  that  this  Snowball  is 
almost  immune  from  insect  pests  ha«  made  it  surpass  the  old-fashioned  Snowball  (  Viburnum 
Opulus,  var.  sterile^  in  popularity.  It  is  a  grand  sight  in  bloam,  whether  as  individual  plant 
or  in  ihe  shrubbery  border.   (See  page  59)

hardy  ;  grow  quickly  and  are  particularly  free  from 
the  attacks  of  injurious  insects.  They  are  invalu- 
able in  shrubbery  borders  ;  desirable  as  specimens 
and  useful  in  all  plantings.
