SPIREA VAN 
HOUTTEI 
Commonly known as the Bridal Wreath, 
the most desirable and popular of shrubs 
especially for the cold Northwest. They are 
rapid growers producing flowers the next 
year after planting and continuing each 
spring, being a mass of white, borne on 
long, drooping stems. After the flowers are 
: gone, they are followed by very attractive 
foliage remaining throughout the season. 
Blooming period about Memorial Day. 
The Spirea Van Houttei is used as speci¬ 
men shrubs, hedges or to cover objectionable 
spots in the ground. Can be trimmed or 
: shaped to any height or desirable shape 
j wanted. For hedge work they should be 
planted about 18 inches apart in the row.

orial Day. Remember, this is absolutely 
hardy anywhere in the Northwest. Heavy

SUMAC 
• COMMON SUMAC 
This is a native shrub exceptionally hardy, and 
valued on account of its bright colored leaves 
that hang on well into the fall. We do not know 
of any shrub that the leaves color up so beauti¬ 
fully in late summer and fall as the Sumac. 
Followed by clusters of bright red berries which 
it retains until spring. 2-3 ft., 25c each; 
3 for 70c; 5 for $1.10. 
• FERNLEAF STAGHORN 
(Rhus Typhina Var. Laclniata) — Rapid. 
robust grower, produces cones of bright red 
fruit. Leaves beautifully formed, rivaling the 
most delicate fern. For massing with other 
shrubs the effect is striking. Can be cut to the 
ground each season and a mass of beautiful 
foliage will result. In the fall, the leaves turn to 
the most beautiful pinkish-red, a large group of 
them is a wonderful sight. 18-24 in., 25c ea.; 
3 for 70c; 5 for $1.10. 
• TYPHINA 
(Stag Horn Sumac). Picturesque and rugged 
in all stages of development to its small-tree 
maturity of about 30 feet. Its flowers are borne 
during June and July in dense terminal panicles, 
followed by impressive red fruits. 2-3 ft., 30c 
ea.; 3 for 80c; 5 for $1.25. 
TAMARIX 
• ODESSA 
A Russian variety, much superior to the 
African Tamarix. The foliage is bluish green, 
similar to the Colorado Blue Spruce. The flowers 
are of delicate pink color. Blooms in July, and 
often again in August and September. The 
branches are very graceful and the shrub is much 
hardier than the African. Very hardy. Ex¬ 
cellent for making bouquets, owing to its superb 
foliage, and the very delicate, beautiful flowers. 
1 K 2-2 ft., 20c ea.; 3 for 55c; 5 for 85c. 2-3 ft., 
25c ea.; 3 for 70c; 5 for $1.05. 
FOR LARGE WHITE BERRIES PLANT 
GURNEY'S WHITE SNOWBERRY 
(Racemosus.) Inconspicuous, rose-colored 
flowers in June and July, followed by large, 
clustered, milk-white fruits which remain far 
into Winter. This combination of pink flowers 
and white berries on the same twig is charming. 
Bush' is compact in form with numerous slender, 
twiggy branches. Can be used in small groups or 
in large mass and border plantings, and kept in 
the foreground on account of its dwarfish habit. 
The Snowberry will give good success in a shady 
location as well as a sunny spot. 1-2 ft., 20c 
ea.; 3 for 50c; 5 for 75c. 2-3 ft., 25c ea.; 3 for 
65c; 5 for $1.00. 
• RED SNOWBERRY 
(Vulgaris.) Similar to the White Snowberry 
except that its fruits are red and that the small 
red berries cluster in thick ropes along the 
weighted-down stems. The foliage is distinct in 
its fineness, and with the White Snowberry is 
very valuable for border planting. Rather dwarf 
in form, from two to four feet high. Often called 
“Indian Currant” and “Coralberry.” 1-2 ft., 
20c ea.; 3 for 50c; 5 for 75c. 2-3 ft., 25c ea.; 
3 for 65c; 5 for $1.00. 
VIBURNUM 
Viburnum Dentatum — Upright bushy shrub 
obtaining a height of 15 feet. This shrub is a 
native in parts of Minnesota; exceptionally 
hardy. Similar in appearance to the Viburnum 
Lantana. Flowers are borne in cymes 2 to 3 
inches broad; fruit bluish black. 1-2 ft., 25c ea.; 
3 for 70c; 5 for $1.05. 2-3 ft., 30c ea.; 3 for 85c; 
5 for $1.25. 
WEIGELA 
Eva Rathke —The best and finest of all of our 
Weigelas. Blooms a brilliant crimson color.

whole plant fairly glows with color. Grows about 
five feet tall. It is a wonderful shrub. 18 to 24

shrub of South Dakota, hardy in any part of the 
State, and should be extensively planted. Height 
8 feet. Its chief beauty consists in its brilliant 
berries, which hang in clusters from the branches 
till mid-winter; berries rose color. Each 25c;. 
10 for $2.00.
