C. W. ATWATER & SON 
SYRINGA. Avalanche, 5'-6'. Semi-dwarf, 
branches somewhat drooping, covered in June 
with very fragrant white flowers. 
Garland (Coronarius), 9'-10'. The old-fash¬ 
ioned sweet Syringa, with pure white flowers in 
June. Very fragrant. 
Golden, 5'-6'. Compact and bushy in growth 
with handsome golden foliage. Probably the 
best golden-leaved shrub we have and especially 
desirable to group with other shrubs. 
SYRINGA VIRGINAL 
Virginal, 7-8'. Large semi-double, fragrant 
white flowers in June, with scattered bloom 
along through the summer. Very beautiful 
but should be given a somewhat protected loca¬ 
tion. 
VIBURNUM. Acerifolium (Maple-leaved), 
4'-5'. Has maple-like leaves, small white flow¬ 
ers, and shining black fruit. Succeeds in dry 
places and planted under trees. 
Americanum (American Cranberry Bush), 
8'-9'. An open growing shrub with drooping 
stems of large red berries lasting through the 
winter. 
Carlesii (Fragrant Viburnum), 4-5'. Clus¬ 
ters of small delicate blush flowers in early 
spring, with fragrance resembling that of Trail¬ 
ing Arbutus. Should not be planted in very 
exposed locations. 
Cassanoides (Withe-rod), 6'-8'. Small 
creamy white flowers in June with broad 
bunches of attractive looking berries in autumn. 
Dentatum (Arrow-Wood), 10'-12'. White 
flowers, followed by crimson berries which turn 
blue in the fall. Will grow in partial shade and 
likes moist ground. 
Lantana (Wayfaring Tree), 15-18'. Of vig¬ 
orous growth with large leaves, silvery under¬ 
neath. White flowers in May. Succeeds on 
dry limestone soils. 
Lentago (Nannyberry), 16-18'. Almost a 
small tree. Creamy white fragrant flowers, 
followed in September with black fruit very 
good to eat. 
Opulus (European Cranberry Bush), 8 -10'. 
Small white flowers in panicles, producing clus¬ 
ters of large red berries which remain until 
winter. This bush and the Common Snowball 
are very subject to attacks by plant lice, which 
seriously injure the appearance of the foliage. 
Opulus nanum, l'-2'. Very compact; useful 
for edging. Rarely blooms. 
Opulus sterile (Common Snowball), 8-10'. 
An old-fashioned shrub, producing clusters of 
white flowers, resembling snowballs, in May. 
Very subject to attacks of plant lice. 
Plicatum (Japan Snowball), 6'-8'. By far 
the finest of any of the Snowballs but hard to 
transplant successfully. 
WEIGELIA. Eva Rathke, 3 -4'. Of rather 
irregular shape. Masses of deep crimson flow¬ 
ers in June and scattered bloom from early 
August to middle of September. 
Rosea, 6-8'. A strong grower, covered in 
June with bright pink flowers that resemble 
those of the “swamp honeysuckle.” 
Variegated, 4'-5'. Compact growth, leaves 
broadly margined yellowish white. Blush pink 
flowers. 
All the Weigelias should be planted in shel¬ 
tered locations. 
WITCH-HAZEL (Hamamelis Virginiana), 
10'-12'. The small, queer yellow flowers appear 
in November after the leaves have fallen. 
Does best in moist, partly shaded places.
