Elder • Sambucus 
Golden (S. aurea). A shrub of strong growth, 
easy of culture, ornamental in flower, fruit and 
foliage. Its bright yellow leaves are attractive 
throughout the season. 
Variegated-leaved (S. variegata). Mottled 
green and pale yellow leaves are the distinguish- 
ing features of this variety. It is excellent for 
massing and valuable for shaded places. 
Golden Bell • Forsythia 
Weeping (F. suspensa). This familiar hardy 
shrub comes into bloom just as winter is leaving, 
and the golden yellow flowers are especially at- 
tractive because of the season. This variety is 
characterized by a graceful drooping habit. Ex- 
cellent for covering arches, trellises and stone walls. 
Viridissima. Bark and foliage dark green 
color; beautiful yellow flowers; narrow oblong 
leaves of bright glossy green. 
HIBISCUS (see page 32) 
Filbert • Corylus 
Purple-leaved (C. purpurea). A conspicu- 
ous shrub, with large, dark purple leaves, dis- 
tinct and fine. The color is permanent. 
Fringe 
Purple (Rhus Cotinus). Sometimes known as 
Purple Mist, Smoke Tree and Smoke Plant. 
During middle summer it is covered with loose 
panicles of curious fringe-like flowers. 
White (Chionanthus Virginica). This superb 
shrub attains a size from lo to 20 feet; has a 
compact and roundish form; large, glossy leaves

April; small and creamy white flowers of delight- 
ful fragrance. Foliage deep green.

known old-fashioned sort, which blooms in May. 
It has slender and upright branches with small, 
bright pink flowers, followed by red or orange- 
yellow berries. 
White Tartarian (L. Tatarica alba). Same 
as the Red Tartarian, except in its beautiful 
white flowers, by reason of which it is fine for 
planting with other varieties for contrast. 
Hydrangea 
Arborescens sterilis. Superb new variety of 
the hardy native species found wild generally in 
the eastern states. Absolutely hardy, of easy 
culture, and an exceedingly prolific bloomer ; 
flowers extraordinarily large, pure white, remain- 
ing intact long after the leaves have fallen. Far 
superior to the old Hydrangeas; one of the most 
striking and beautiful shrubs of its season, sug- 
gesting the descriptive synonym " Hills of Snow."
