covered in May with the beautiful lively pink bell shaped flowers. Has all

growth, having pretty small pink flowers in June or 
July, followed by large clusters of waxy-like snow white 
berries throughout the late summer, autumn and early 
winter. A very effective shrub for masses in the shrub

Coral Berry 
Indian 
Currant 
Although related to Snowberry and similar to it in 
many ways, Coral Berry is not so upright in growth, 
and the branches sweep gracefully to the ground, al¬ 
most trailing in habit. An excellent subject for planting 
on dry terraces and banks where it thrives in spite of 
dry and adverse conditions. It also makes a pretty 
hedge or border. Grows about 4 ft. tall and bears pink 
flowers in July. The beauty, however, is in the racemes 
of currant-like scarlet berries which follow the flowers 
during the fall and winter.
