October Bouquet 
Rather late for a bouquet in 
this climate, but not if you plant 
Glossy Autumnberry (Ligustrum 
vulgaris) and Tree Spirea (Sor- 
baria arborea glabrata—See page 
10). The clusters of jet-black Au- 
tumnberries nestled in the immense, 
creamy-white sprays of Tree Spirea 
will thrill even the most sophisti¬ 
cated. We also cherish Glossy 
Autumnberry for its little white 
flowers in the Spring, and the fact 
that it is one of our very best 
shrubs for dry, shady locations— 
even likes tree roots. Makes a tall, 
fairly narrow shrub; can be used as 
an accent on either side of your 
front steps in the foundation plant¬ 
ing; it never disappoints.

The October Bouquet 
American Cranberrybush (Viburnum americanum). 
Different from its cousin the Wayfaring Bird-bush in that its translucent, orange-red fruit 
borne in flat, terminal clusters are not eaten by the birds (though not poisonous). These 
berries remain until Spring, a beautiful sight when the snow is on the ground. Grows to 
8 ft., and should be used as a tall natural growing hedge or background shrub. Bushy 
plants, many still holding their berries. Priced at bottom of page. 
Kentucky Viburnum (Viburnum molle). 
Differs from V. lantana (below) chiefly in that the leaves are longer and toothed, and the 
habit more dwarf. The blue-black berries are quickly eaten by the Birds.

Wayfaring Bird-bush (Viburnum lantana). See illustration below. 
William Falconer, greatest Plantsman of his day, considered this one of our best shrubs. 
Its soft, heavy foliage is a dark, grayish green, reaching to the ground; the clusters of 
white flowers in early May are followed by red fruit turning black as it ripens, and which 
the birds strip until 
they are gone 
(about Sept. 1st). 
Stands dry, hot 
weather, and grows 
10 to 15 ft. high.
