HARDY SHRUBS 
There is nothing that makes a home more attractive than a fine hedge 
around the lawn. We are listing the more popular kinds but can supply any 
other hedge plant not listed. We have put the price on our hedge plants 
down so everybody can buy a hedge this year. 
LILACS 
Lilac time is the loveliest time of the year. Who is there who has no 
memories of childhood permeated with the fragrance of lilacs? There is 
something lacking in the home ground that does not have at least one group 
of this good old-fashioned flowering shrub. You will find that those we list 
are perfectly hardy under any conditions. 
Common Purple— Is perfectly hardy, makes a dense growth from 6 to 10 
feet high, flowers fragrant; is often used for hedge purposes. 
2 to 3 Foot, each $ .40 
Persian Purple Lilac —6 to 8 feet high, with slender upright branches, 
foliage rich green; blossoms in late spring with pale lilac colored flowers. 
Very fragrant. 
2 to 3 Foot, each $ .35 
Charles X —Rapid in growth, leaves glossy. Large loose trusses of reddish 
purple. A fine variety. 
2 to 3 Foot, each $ .50 
SHRUBS 
Snowball, Viburnum Lentago —Large clusters of cream flowers followed 
by bluish black fruits. Leaves bronze in spring, orange and scarlet in fall. 
15 to 20 feet. May and June. 
18 to 24 Inches, each $ .45 
Anthony Waterer— Makes a bush 18 to 24 inches high, covered from 
spring till late in the fall with large heads of crimson flowers. 
18 to 24 Inches, each $ .30 
Brides Wreath or Spirea Van Houttei —For hedge work they should be 
planted about 18 inches apart in the row. Very easily transplanted, seldom 
losing a plant out of hundreds. At my own home I have a hedge standing 
nearly 10 feet high and 150 long. It is a veritable snow bank on each 
Memorial Day. Remember, this is absolutely hardy anywhere in the North¬ 
west. 
18 to 24 Inches, each $ .20; 10 for $1.85; 50 for $6.00; 100 for $9.00 
Red Leafed Barberry —This is the same as Japanese Barberry, but has 
bright red leaves that make it very attractive the entire season. 
18 to 24 Inch Transplants, each $ .40; 10 for $3.00 
Hydrangea Arborescens (Hills of Snow) —The finest and most beautiful 
of the Hydrangeas. Blooms are of the very largest size, of pure snow-white 
color. The blossoms are more refined than those of the Paniculata Grandi- 
flora. Begins to bloom in June, continues through July, August and Septem¬ 
ber. Extremely hardy; thrives in all soils, in both shady and sunny locations. 
Very valuable for foundation planting. Grows normally about 4 feet high. 
Can be pruned to any height or shape. For all purposes we especially recom¬ 
mend this variety. Strong bushes, extra large, well branched. 
2 to 3 Foot, each $ .40
