PINK TARTARIAN HONEYSUCKLE. Bleak, ungainly spots about the home are easily 
hidden with a screen hedge or mass planting of the robust and beautiful Honeysuckle. 
About the time of Decoration Day, it is covered with delicate pink buds that open 
blush white; luxuriant foliage of bright green; in late summer a wealth of orange and 
red berries. It grows rapidly, in almost any kind of soil, and in partial shade as well as 
sunshine. 8 to 12 feet at maturity, but can be kept trimmed back to any height desired.

f~^pRA^GEA ARBORESCENS (Hills of Snow). The glorious, summer- 
blooming Hydrangea, with large, light green, heart-shaped leaves, and a 
grand covering of immense, pure white panicles of bloom in July and Au¬ 
gust that look much like the Snowball. One of the most desirable for foun¬ 
dation planting. Trim severely in early spring to induce bushy, vigorous 
growth and more bloom. 3 to 5 feet at maturity.

HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. A magnificent landscape 
shrub, and exceedingly popular. From August until late autumn, the shapely 
plant is loaded with large, globe-shaped blooms, at first white, with a deli¬ 
cate tinge of pink at the first frost, then light bronze and green, lasting for 
months. Very hardy, liking best a moist, sunny location; in beds or masses 
they make a glorious picture, while in foundation groups they are superb. 
3 to 5 feet at maturity.

Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora. 
WHITE KERRIA (Rhodotypos kerrioides). Here is a fine shrub for the shady 
spots around the home, and a beautiful one as well. Its foliage is unusually 
attractive, sharp notches and deep veins giving it a somewhat plaited effect. 
Then, there are showy w-hite flowers in May and June, followed by jet 
black fruits or seed pods that last all winter. 4 to 5 feet at maturity.

PEARL BUSH (Exochorda grandiflora). The right place for this handsome shrub is in the 
background, or it can be grown as an individual specimen on the lawn. In early spring the 
buds have the appearance of gleaming pearls strung on slender threads, which in May open 
to magnificent sprays of pure white. 8 to 12 feet at maturity.

ROSA RUGOSA. A Rose that is often included in the shrubs, as it is excellent in combination 
with shrubs—invaluable in the border plantings. See varieties, descriptions and prices on 
page 45. You will be surprised how much colorful beauty a group of three or more of 
them will bring to your shrubbery plantings. 
WHITE SNOWBERRY (Symphoricarpos racemosus). Even in the shade, this pretty shrub will 
produce the long clusters of milk-white fruits which are so very attractive, and which remain 
far into the winter. Its compact form and semi-dwarf habits make it desirable for foundation 
groups. 3 to 5 feet at maturity.

RED SNOWBERRY (S. vulgaris). Quite like the White Snowberry except that its fruits are 
red, and are clustered in thick ropes along the weighted-down stems. Thick, fine foliage; 
plant of good form. A delightful companion to the white variety. 2 to 4 feet at maturity.
