Shrubs of Lasting Beauty 
lWnr>lr OranffP Belonging to the Philadelphia (Syringa) 
iTiU L IS. VJlcLIigC family, they are highly fragrant, and do 
well in the shade. I recommend the taller varieties for screens 
and for shrub groups. 
Mock Orange, Grandiflora bro o om s s 10 en o d 12 o f f eet May: 
nice large blossoms. This is one of the most popular Mock 
Orange. 2-3 foot shrubs 45c each; 3 for $1.20; 10 for $3.60, 
postpaid. 
Mock Orange, Dianthaflora Sfeorf'“flowing 
shrub, bringing forth an abundance of highly fragrant blossoms 
in May. This is one of the best all-purpose Mock Orange 
varieties. 12-18 inch plants, 20c each; 10 for $1.70, postpaid. 
2-3 foot shrubs, 45c each; 3 for $1.20 postpaid. 
Mock Orange, Lemoine ?, l ,nhf l ‘ 1 V,ovi 0 TL,£S 
and until recently was considered the very finest Mock Orange 
of the dwarf strain. However, the new Mock Orange Virginalis 
is gradually gaining in popularity. I still recommend the Le¬ 
moine for general planting. 12-18 inch plants, 20c each; 10 for 
$1.50. 2-3 foot shrubs, 35c each; 3 for 90c, postpaid. 
Mock Orange, Virginalis mhhhh 
Grows 4 to 5 feet tall, and blooms double and semi-double. The 
first flowers appear in May, they last for a long time, and later 
on in the summer the shrub usually blooms once or twice. 
2-3 foot shrubs, 40c each; 3 for $1.10, postpaid. 
JAPANESE QUINCE-Firebush 
Cydonia. 4-5 feet tall. Very early in the spring, with 
the first blossoms this beautiful shrub shows up splen¬ 
didly, the large fiery-red blossoms all along the branches 
and the neat, compact growth of the bush produce a 
sight of rare beauty. The foliage is shining green, 
healthy, and later in the summer the small yellowish- 
green fruits can be picked in large numbers. They are 
sometimes used for flavoring apple butter. This shrub 
stands any amount of shearing, can therefore be used to 
great advantage for hedge work and borders. 12-18 inch 
plants, 18c each; 3 for 45c; 10 for $1.20. 18-24 inch shrubs, 
25c each; 3 for 55c; 10 for $1.50. 2-3 foot shrubs, 30c 
each; 3 for 65c; 10 for $2.00, postpaid. 
OLD FASHIONED SNOWBALL 
Snowball, old fashioned 
Viburnum Opulus sterile. 10 feet tall 
The “old garden” favorite. I recommend 
it especially for shady or partly shaded 
places, there the shrub develops splendid¬ 
ly to an upright but well branched shape, 
in May blooming wonderfully. The shrub 
is hardy everywhere. Few flowering 
shrubs will prove more satisfactory. 
12-18 inch plants, 28c each; 10 for $2.50. 
2-3 foot shrubs, 52c each; 3 for $1.40, 
postpaid. 
Fragrant Pink Snowball 
Viburnum Carlesi. The most desirable of 
all the Virburnums. Semi-dwarf, 5 feet 
tall. Beautiful flowers in May, distinct 
pink-tinted wax-like in clusters, possess¬ 
ing a delightful fragrance. 18-inch shrubs, 
75c each, postpaid. 
Planting 
Instructions 
In some instances, 
shrubs do not have 
the desired shape, 
and then the ques¬ 
tion arises, when is 
the best time to 
shape the bush by 
pruning? And the 
answer is, right after 
blooming. 
SYRINGA

’Dari WT a -vVin-rvir Symphoricarpus Vulgaris. 3-5 
XvcU. W dAUcIiy f ee t tall; often called Indian 
Berry. It is a native in Nebraska. I recommend it 
on account of its healthy growth, and the showy red 
berries that hang on long after the leaves have fallen. 
Makes a pretty hedge. 12-18 inch plants, 15c each; 
10 for $1.10. 2-3 foot shrubs, 25c each; 10 for $2.00,

WVlltp Srinwhprrv Symphoricarpus. Same as 
will be Oliuwueiiy the above, but the berries 
are pure white, also very showy in late summer and 
fall. The Snow and Waxberries do well most any¬ 
where, they are perfectly hardy and should be planted 
more. 12-18 inch plants, 18c each; 10 for $1-40. 2-3 
foot shrubs, 30c each; 10 for $2.20, postpaid. 
Fern-leaf Sumac, Staghorn 0 fe e e ^ 
most anywhere and is perfectly hardy. There is 
hardly a shrub that I know of which is so valuable 
for a good foliage effect. The Staghorn makes a 
wonderful showing among other shrubs, and in the 
fall when the leaves turn pinkish-red it is indeed a 
grand sight. 12-18 inch plants, 25c each; 3 for 60c. 
2-3 foot shrubs, 45c each; 3 for $1.20, postpaid. 
Tomariv Orlooea 12-15 feet tall, and can be 
X ctlllctl LX., VJUCoocL grown in tree form to a 
height of 25 feet. This is a very hardy strain with 
bluish green foliage, and the blossoms are of delicate 
pink color. Blooms in June and often again in August 
and September. With pruning every summer the 
shrub will not grow up quite so tall but will make a 
dense growth. 12-18 inch plants, 20c each; 10 for $1.50. 
18-24 inch, 27c each; 3 for 68c; 2-3 foot shrubs, 38c

X ctlllcli 1A, XlJ.ojJlU.cL ing j n the summer can be

in July and in August or September, flowers carmine 
rose, very showy. Very hardy, and in recent years 
the demand for this variety has been better than for 
the Tamarix Odessa. 12-18 inch plants, 20c each;

part of the summer, and I have known them to be 
in bloom as late as September 27. In most years Eva 
Rathke commences to bloom in June, and there are 
flowers all through summer and fall. The flowers are 
of brilliant crimson color, a beautiful shade. This 
variety could not be called perfectly hardy. I recom¬ 
mend a light cover over winter in Nebraska. South 
of here it will come through the winter without pro¬ 
tection. 12-18 inch plants, 35c each; 3 for 90c. 2-3 
foot shrubs, 55c each; 3 for $1.50, postpaid.
