WESTBURY STATION, N. Y. 
Flowering Shrubs 
Deutzia, 6 feet high. We have larger shrubs than usual. 
They give immediate results. They may be planted wider 
apart, therefore the cost is no more than with smaller plants. 
CATALPA 
C. Bungei; syn., bignonioides, var, nana. A dwarf 
tree or shrub from China, grow- 
ing from 3 to lo feet high. The 
leaves are very large and thick, 
which makes it suitable for sea- 
side planting. 
CORCHORUS 
Kerria Japonica 
Among the Boxwoods about 
many old farmhouses, the graceful 
green stems of the Corchorus are 
seen, bearing brilliant golden balls 
throughout the summer. 
DEUTZIA 
The Deutzias are among the 
most useful of tall shrubs, form- 
ing sturdy upright bushes 8 to 
12 feet high, with thick foliage 
that makes a good screen. The 
four varieties, D. scabra, D. cre- 
nata, D. candidissima, and Pride 
of Rochester are similar. In June 
they have showy white flowers, 
sometimes tinged with pink. 
Dwarf. D. gracilis. Japanese 
Snow Flower. A broad, sturdy 
bush I to 3 feet high, wreathed 
with a profusion of delicate 
white flowers in June. Where 
a shrub is desired that does not 
grow out of bounds, as against 
the foundation of a house, near 
a path, or edging tall shrubs, 
this is to be recommended. 
DOGWOOD. Comus 
Red-twigged. C alba, var. Sibirica. In the winter 
this is the most showy of all the shrubs, standing 
out bright and cheerful with its brilliant red bark. 
It should be planted in groups where its color 
effect is visible at a distance. It has healthy, 
compact foliage, white flowers and white berries. 
C. sanguinea. Dark red branches. 
ZyLDILR. Sambueus 
Golden. S. nigra, var. aurea. A tall coarse shrub 
with clear yellow foliage throughout the summer. 
It should be planted at a distance for bold color 
effects. 
ELALAGNUS 
E. umbellata. Silver Thorn. The Elaeagnus is 
distinguishable by the silvery coating to the leaves, 
which forms a harmonious and striking contrast 
with other shrubs. It thrives especially well near 
the sea. In late summer and autumn it is cov- 
ered with bright red berries, pleasantly acid. 
E. longipes. Recently introduced for its cranberry- 
like fruit ripening in July, at which time it is 
highly ornamental. 
ILXOCHORDA. Pearl 3ush 
E. grandiflora. A shrub that is admired above 
others in May for its graceful festoons cf large pure 
white flowers. It is somewhat open and irregular 
and is therefore better planted at the rear of 
other shrubs than standing alone. 
Lonicera Morrowi. One of the best of the Upright Honeysuckles. A broad, 
spreading bush with yelloM' and white flowers and showy red fruit.
