THE NORTHWOOD NURSERIES, COON VALLEY, WISCONSIN 
HARDY FLOWERING 
Spireae, Anthony Waterer. An excellent 
low growing shrub with large corymbs 
of bright, red flowers almost through¬ 
out the season. One of our very best 
display shrubs. Fine for specimens or 
low hedges. Height 18 to 24 inches 
when full grown. Should be largely 
planted. 
S. callosa alba. A splendid companion to 
the Spirea, Anthony Waterer. Of 
dwarf, dense growth, with white flow¬ 
ers. In bloom all summer. 
S. Van Houttei. One of the most beauti¬ 
ful of the flowering shrubs; literally 
covered with pure white flowers in the 
spring. For specimen shrubs on the 
lawn, for massing at the base of the 
house, or forming a beautiful flowering 
hedge, no shrub is superior. 
S. Bumalda. Similar to Anthony Water¬ 
er in growth and habit but with light 
pink flowers. 
S., Golden. A pretty variety with white 
flowers and attractive, golden tinted 
foliage. 
S. Marguarita. Tall loose growing shrub 
with large clusters of rose colored 
flowers. 
Japanese Quince. Of dense habit, with 
Cornus 
SHRUBS, Continued. 
Spireae, Anthony Waterer 
rich green foliage almost hidden by 
large, scarlet flowers in May. 
Mock Oriange. (Philadelphus). Flowers 
white, resembling orange blossoms and 
not a bad substitute for that noble 
flower. One of our best shrubs. 
Shrubby Cinquefoil. This beautiful, hardy 
shrub, with fine cleft foliage; deserves 
to be largely planted. The bright, gold¬ 
en, yellow flowers, sparkle like stars 
among the dark foliage. In bloom all 
Summer. Plant wherever you wish to 
add brightness to your plantings. 
Cornus (Dog Woods.) A very desirable 
class of shrubs that deserve to be large¬ 
ly planted. Valuable for producing con¬ 
trast and beautiful effects in winter. 
Red Barked, Yellow Barked, Gray Bark¬ 
ed, Blue Barked, White Flowered. 
Alpine Currant. An attractive shrub of 
graceful habit with dense currant like 
foliage. 
FALL PLANTING 
Plant Peonies, Iris, Tulips, Narcissus, 
etc., in Fall. In our latitude Shrubs and 
Evergreens should be planted in Spring 
as Fall planting often proves a total 
failure. 
Calycanthus (Sweet Shrub). Large, choc¬ 
olate-colored flowers, delicately per¬ 
fumed. The wood and bark of this 
shrub have the same agreeable odor as 
the flowers.
