Ferris' Selected Shrubs—Continued 
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 
springs 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.

ROSE ACACIA (Flowering Locust). A rugged plant, and one of the most beautiful 
of the early flowering shrubs. Stems are peculiarly bristled, foliage light green and 
handsome like the Locust, with clusters of lovely, rose-colored flowers in May and 
June that look very much like Sweet Peas. 3 to 7 ft. at maturity. 
Each 10 
2-yr., 2 ft. average.#0.35 #3.00 
ROSA RUGOSA. A Rose that is often in¬ 
cluded in the shrubs, as it is excellent in 
combination with shrubs—invaluable in 
the border plantings. See varieties, de¬ 
scriptions and prices on page 7. You 
will be surprised how much colorful beau¬ 
ty a group of three or more of them will 
bring to your shrubbery plantings.

a crop of ornamental berries. Each 10
