Althea - Rose of Sharon 
Hydrangea Arborescens 
Deutzia 
Hydrangea P. G. 
Hydrangea P. G. 
Everyone knows and loves this hardy old-fashioned 
shrub. The large spikes of greenish white blossoms first 
appear in August and last until autumn but as time goes 
on they change to pure white, then to a pinkish tinge and 
last to a rich bronze. No grounds are complete without 
a liberal planting of this grand old shrub. 
Altliea—Rose of Sharon. 
Butterfly Bush - Summer Lilac 
This bush grows from 4 to 6 feet in height and 
produces its beautiful lilac colored blooms from 
the tips of every particle of new growth. It flow¬ 
ers from July to September, but more profusely 
during August and at that time the mass of con¬ 
spicuous purple and violet flowers attracts many 
butterflies, adding much to its attraction. 
This is one of the most valuable of all shrubs for it gives 
its profusion of large, highly colored flowers late in August 
—past the blooming season of most flowering 
shrubs. The flowers much resemble the ten¬ 
der hibiscus in form and are the color spots 
of fall just as the spireas and weigelas are 
of spring. The bushes are ornamental in 
shape and grow to a height of 8 to 10 
feet, covering themselves in fall with 
beautiful double white, purple, red, rose 
and striped flowers. 
The flowers of this shrub are much like those 
of the snowball in appearance. They are con¬ 
spicuously white and enliven¬ 
ing during July, August and 
September. By keeping the 
crowns cut back each spring 
it makes a symmetrical dense 
hedge of from 3 to 5 feet in 
height. The plants are per¬ 
fectly hardy and free from 
diseases. 
Gracilis. A dwarf shrub growing from 20 to 30 
inches in height. Its graceful drooping branches 
are wreathed with pure white flowers in May. 
When used for borders it is most valuable and 
beautiful. 
Pride of Rochester. This is the most hardy and 
popular of the Deutzia family. It grows from 
6 to 8 feet in height and its mass of pinkish white 
bloom in June is a joy to all beholding it. It 
Forsythia—Golden Bell. 
Forsythia - Golden Bell 
adapts itself to any type of soil 
or growing conditions and for 
specimen or mass planting it is 
indispensable. 
These attractive old shrubs, growing 6 to 8 feet tall, 
light up the garden with glowing masses of golden 
yellow before any other bloom appears in the spring; 
in fact, the flowers appear before the leaves and en¬ 
liven a landscape that is otherwise leafless and bloom¬ 
less. 
Persian Lilac 
Deutzia, Pride of Rochester. 
Snowberry. 
This has became the most popular Lilac grown. The 
large trusses of deep purple flowers are borne in profu¬ 
sion and their sweet fragrance carries over the entire 
grounds. 
Snowberry 
Philadelphia - Mock Orange 
One of the tallest shrubs grown and excellent for 
hedges as well as for individual planting. It flowers very 
profusely, much resembling strawberry blossoms, but 
larger, and its waxy white, fragrant bloom is a delight 
to all. Don’t fail to plant at least a few Mock Orange. 
Bush Honeysuckle 
Tatarica rubra. For a tall hedge to screen an un¬ 
sightly view there is no shrub so valuable, as it will 
grow from 10 to 12 feet high in a few years. Be¬ 
sides it is a beautiful thing both summer and win¬ 
ter as it is the first shrub to clothe itself with leaves 
in spring. Its light crimson flow¬ 
ers and luxuriant foliage are a de¬ 
light in summer and the thousands 
of bright red berries give a charm¬ 
ing touch of color to the winter 
landscape. 
Butterfly Bush.

This shrub has small pinkish flowers in June and 
July, followed by large clusters of milk-white "berries 
that remain on the bushes far into the winter. The 
growth of this shrub is graceful and attractive and 
the combination of pink flowers and white berries on 
the same twig is charming. 
Spirea Anthony Waterer 
A compact, dwarf shrub with dense deep green foli¬ 
age. On account of its graceful low 
growing habits it is very valuable for 
foundation planting and edging in front 
of taller shrubbery. The flowers are a 
showy red borne in full flat clusters on 
erect stems.
