Viburnum—High Bush Cranberry (See page 9) 
Ligustrum - Privet 
The Ligustrums are not only good hedge plants, but are one of the fine 
things for groups on the lawn. They are almost evergreen, and of dense, 
shapely habit. Sometimes in a very severe winter they will kill back a little, 
but soon recover. 
Amur River (North). A fine shrub of upright growth. Its pure white flow' 
ers appear in June and are followed by bluish black seeds. 
L. Regelianum. This is our favorite. The horizontal, sometimes drooping 
branches are distinctly beautiful. The plant is dense and compact, growing 
to 6 or 8 feet. Blooms in June and July, and has berries like preceding. 
Lonicera - Honeysuckle 
The following sorts are of erect, upright growth; flowers are followed by 
small berries. (See Climbing Vines for other Honeysuckles). 
Lonicera bella albida. One of the finest of the Bush Honeysuckles; a very 
profuse bloomer, and later completely covered with bright red berries. 
L. tatarica (Tatarian Honeysuckle). 6 to 8 feet. A strong, upright growing 
shrub; blossoms are pink and make a fine contrast with the dark green 
foliage. 
L. tatarica var. grandiflora. 6 to 8 feet. Blossoms large, red striped with white. 
L. Morrowi. 4 to 5 feet. From Japan. Bush is a spreading grower; blossoms 
yellowish white, followed by berries. Desirable as a hedge plant. 
Philadelphus - Syringa or Mock Orange 
Are mostly large shrubs, growing from 6 to 10 feet high. Of 
vigorous habit, very hardy, with large, handsome foliage and beau' 
tiful white flowers produced in great profusion. They merit a place 
in every collection of shrubbery. 
Philadelphus, Bouquet Blanc. Of medium height, 5 to 6 feet. A 
nice compact bush. The flowers are double and come in close' 
set bunches, each one a small bouquet. 
P. coronarius (Garland Syringa). 5 to 6 feet. One of the first to 
bloom. Pure white, highly scented flowers. 
P. coronarius var. aureus (Golden'Leaved Syringa). A very pretty 
plant, growing 4 to 5 feet high, with golden yellow foliage. It 
keeps its color the entire season and is valuable for planting with 
purpledeaved shrubs. 
P. grandiflora. 8 to 10 feet. The strongest grower and largest 
flower of the group; blooms in June; slightly fragrant. 
P. Lemoinei erectus. A charming variety of upright growth; 
flowers small, yellowish white, fragrant, completely covering the 
bush. Dwarf habit. 
P. virginal. This is one of the newer introductions and is a de' 
cided acquisition. The blossom is large, semi'double, pure white, 
very fragrant. The bush is of medium growth. 
Potentilla 
Potentilla fruticosa (Shrubby Cinquefoil). A good dwarf shrub 
attaining a height of about 3 feet. Is especially desirable 
one of the very few hardy shrubs that has bright yeb 
low flowers. 
Prunus - Flowering Plum 
Prunus triloba (Double'Flowering Plum). 5 to 8 feet. A 
large shrub or small tree; the branches are covered early 
in the season, before leaves appear, with small, double, 
pink flowers. Very desirable. 
as ^ 1S Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora (See page 5) 
Pyrus - Flowering Almond 
Pyrus japonica fl. pi. (Dwarf Double'Flowering Almond). 
2 to 4 feet. These are small shrubs that are covered 
early in the season before the leaves appear with small, 
double, roselike flowers. Makes a very nice shrub for 
grouping with other shrubs in the foundation or border 
planting. We have them in both white and pink. 
P., Minnesota (Purple'Leaf Plum). Not quite as strong 
a grower as the Newport. A valuable addition to our 
purpledeaved shrubs. Both this and the Newport must 
have full sunlight for best development. 
P., Newport. This new reddeaved Plum originated at the 
Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. The leaves are 
bright red and retain their color throughout the entire 
season. Valuable as single specimens and in landscape 
work. 
Rhamnus - Buckthorn 
Rhamnus cathartica (Common Buckthorn). 8 to 10 feet. 
A very useful hedge plant. Foliage dense and dark 
green. Has attractive white flowers in June and July. 
Rhodotypos 
Rhodotypos kerrioides (White Kerria). 3 to 6 feet. Bears 
an abundance of white flowers in May; foliage is at' 
tractive; bush a slender grower; hardy.
