Viburnum, Including the Snowballs 



IN this group are included the Snowballs, which give in Spring the same showy efi^ects produced by 

 Hydrangeas in the Fall. X'iburnums are hardy, grow quickly, and are free from the attacks of 

 injurious insects. They are invaluable in shrubbery borders, desirable as specimens, and useful in 

 all plantings. Most varieties will grow satisfactorily in partially shaded places, although they will, of 

 course, flower better in sunny locations. Beautiful Autumn foliage is displayed by some varieties, while 

 others are valued for their ornamental berries. The Japanese Snowball, one of the most popular shrubs, is 

 mcluded in this family. It is described more fully and illustrated on the following page. Perhaps there is 

 no shrub valued so much for Winter effects as the High Bush (Vanberry, which is listed below.
