ALBANY NURSERIES 
Upright Deciduous Shrubs 
No yard is complete without one or more beautiful flowering shrubs, and we would urge a more 
extensive planting of this class of ornamentals covering such a wide range in flower and foliage, 
habit of growth and season of blossoming. Requiring but small space, they can be used on lawns to 
fill vacancies, where large trees could not be harmoniously grown, breaking the monotony of the 
landscape by grouping or distributing singly according to size of grounds and scenic effect. 
ALTHAEA. Hibiscus Syriacus 
Rose of Sharon. One of the most showy and 
beautiful shrubs. Flowers large, double, of many 
brilliant colors. Blooms freely in August and 
September when few other trees or shrubs are 
in blossom. 
Double Red (H. rubra flore pleno.) 
Double Purple (H. purpurea flore pleno .] 
Double White \H. alba flore pleno.] 
Variegated Leaf [ H . variegata flore pleno.] 
ALMOND. Prunus 
Double Rose-flowering [P. Japonica rubra fl. 
pi-] A beautiful small shrub, bearing in May 
before the leaves appear, small, double rose-like 
flowers, closely set upon the twigs. 
Double White-flowering [P. Japonica alba fl. pi.] 
Produces beautiful white flowers in May. 
AZALEA Azalea, or Rhododendron Sinense 
A. Mollis. Showy, hardy plants, used extensive- 
ly in parks and public grounds. The brilliancy 
of their flowers is not approached by anything 
in the line of hard shrubs. Excellent for the 
front of borders or clumps of taller growing 
shrubs. 
BARBERRY. Berberis 
Used as a hedge-plant quite extensively. Their 
showy orange and yellow flowers in May and 
June are followed by bright and various-colored 
fruits, making them especially showy in autumn 
and winter. 
Purple-leaved ( B . purpurea.) Foliage and 
fruit of violet-purple color, very striking; fine 
for single specimens; also a desirable ornament- 
al hedge-plant, planted by itself or intermingled 
with the common. 
B. Thunbergii. A very pretty variety from 
Japan; of dwarf, graceful habit; foliage small, 
changing to beautiful bright red early in fall; 
very showy. 
BLUE SPIREA. See Verbena Shrub. 
CALYCANTHUS 
Sweet-Scented Shrub or Carolina Allspice. 
Sweet-Scented Shrub (C. Floridus .) The wood 
is fragrant; foliage rich; flowers are of chocolate 
color, having a peculiarly agreeable odor. The 
flowers appear in June and at intervals after- 
ward. Very popular. 
CAMELLIA 
A very desirable evergreen shrub which comes 
from J apan. Suitable for either lawn or pot 
culture. In appearance it is somewhat similar 
to the Rhododendron, having smooth, glossy, 
dark green leaves. The flowers appear early in 
the spring (in the Williamette Valley about the 
middle to the close of March), and look like a 
medium-sized full-blown rose. We carry in stock 
three colors — Red, White and Pink. 
CORAL BERRY. See Snowberry. 
CORNUS. See Dogwood, page 46. 
CHERRY. Cerasus 
Dwarf Rocky Mountain. From the mountains of 
Colorado. Hardy as a Wyoming sage-bush. With 
its deep green, willow-like leaves, mass of pure 
white flowers in spring and a load of fruit in 
summer, it is well worth cultivation for an orna- 
mental shrub. Makes a bush 4 to 5 feet high, 
usually fruiting in two years, producing large 
quantities of jet-black fruit about the size of 
English Morello, and ripening after all other 
Cherries are gone. See also pages 46 and 52. 
CORCHORUS. Kerria Japonica 
A graceful, slender shrub, growing 4 to 5 feet 
high, covered with double yellow flowers from 
early summer till fall. As pretty as a rose in 
shape of flower and makes a very ornamental 
plant for the lawn. 
CURRANT. Ribes 
Crimson-flowering (R. sanguineum.) Produces 
an abundance of crimson flowers in early spring. 
Yellow-flowering (Jf. aureum.) A native species 
with yellow flowers. 
CYDONIA. See Quince, Japan. 
DEUTZIA. Deutzia 
This valuable species comes to us from Japan. 
Their hardiness, luxuriant foliage and profusion 
of attractive flowers, render them deservedly a- 
mong the most popular of flowering shrubs. The 
flowers are produced in June, in racemes 4 to 6 
inches long. 
Abel Carriere (D. Hortensis Abel Carriere.) 
Bright rose-carmine; a choice sort. One of the 
best. 
Double-flowering (D. crenata flore pleno.) Flow- 
ers double, white, tinged with rose. One of the 
most desirable flowering shrubs in cultivation. 
Slender-branched (D. gracilis.) A very desir- 
able dwarf- growing variety. Flowers pure 
white. A valuable plant for winter blooming. 
Lemoine’s (D. Lemoinei.) Single white. A 
hardy hybrid, partaking to a great extent of the 
character of Gracilis, but of a stronger growth. 
Good for forcing. 
D. c. var. Pride of Rochester. A new variety said 
to excel all others in size of the double white 
flower, length of panicle, profusion of bloom and 
vigorous habit. A charming acquisition, produced 
from the Crenata. 
D. Watereri. A grand new variety with very 
large double white flowers, borne in large, loose 
racemes. Robust grower and very hardy.
