THE NORTHWOOD NURSERIES, COON VALLEY, WISCONSIN

Hydrangea, P. G. 
HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS, Cone. 
Polish Privet. This Privet fills a long- 
felt want in Northern landscape work. 
Their rich, glossy foliage blends well 
with other shrubs. Their great hardi¬ 
ness and graceful, rapid growth make 
them valuable material for deciduous 
hedges. Flowers white. 
High Bush Cranberry. Resembles the 
common Snowball in foliage and habit 
of growth, but the flowers appear in 
large, flat cytnes instead of ball-shaped 
heads, and are followed by clusters of 
large red berries, remaining on the 
plant all winter. 
Snowball. The old favorite. 
Lilac. We have three colors: Purple, 
white and rose. 
Russian Olive. Large shrub or small tree 
with narrow silvery white leaves and 
sweet-scented yellow flowers. Invalu¬ 
able for forming backgrounds in shrub- 
group plantings. 
Caragana (Siberian Pea). Tall shrub 
with fine, feathery foliage and yellow 
flowers in May. Fine for mixed plant¬ 
ings. 
Fern-leaved Sumac. Splendid for speci¬ 
mens on the lawn. Of rapid growth, 
rivaling the palm in gracefulness of 
foliage. Suitable for backgrounds in 
shrub plantings. 
Coral Berry. Small shrub with clusters 
of red berries during the winter. 
Weigela, Eva Rathke. One of the best. 
Bright crimson flowers. 
Siberian Hedgewood. Large, bushy shrub 
with long, slender willow-like branches 
and narrow leaves. 
Aronia. Tall, handsome shrub, throwing 
up many shoots. Foliage glossy green. 
Brings a wonderous wealth of white 
flowers in June, followed by* black 
fruits. Ornamental at all times. 
Barberry, Thunberg’s. A fine shrub for 
massing, also splendid for single speci¬ 
mens. The green foliage turns to a 
brilliant scarlet in autumn, while the 
pretty red berries, which adhere to the 
bush all winter, present a pleasing ap¬ 
pearance against the snow. One of the 
finest shrubs for using as an untrim¬ 
med hedge. 
Bush Honeysuckle
