Tamarix 
There seems to have been considerable confusion as to varieties 
of the Tamarix. We have tried a number of varieties and have 
selected as the best one we have tried for our climate, the follow' 
ing variety. 
Tamarix, Kashgar. Is a strong grower, has fine silvery foliage, re' 
sembling somewhat the finer of the Junipers. The delicate pink 
blossoms are in long spikes. The whole effect is 'very fine. The 
Tamarix should be cut back severely early in the spring. 
Viburnum - Arrow-wood 
Viburnum, American High Bush Cranberry. 8 to 10 feet. This is a 
native variety that makes a strong, upright growth. The white 
clusters of blossoms are followed by bright red berries that hang 
on well into the winter; a fine shrub. 
V. Carlesi. A new variety that is very well spoken of where it can 
be grown. The fragrant mauve'pink blossoms come in May. Its 
hardiness in Central and Northern Wisconsin is questioned. 
V. dentatum. Has glossy green foliage, white flowers in June. 
Crimson berries turning blue in autumn. One of the best shrubs 
for landscape planting. 
V. lentago (Sheepberry). Grows 20 to 30 feet high, white flowers in cymes in May and 
June. Large oval, blue'black fruit in autumn. 
Lilac, Mme. Lemoine 
V. lantana. 6 to 8 feet. 
Large growing shrub 
with soft, heavy leaves; 
large clusters of white 
flowers in May, fob 
lowed by red berries 
that turn black as they 
ripen; retains its foliage 
late. 
V. opulus (High Bush 
Cranberry). 5 to 6 ft. 
Both ornamental and 
useful. Its late red ber' 
ries, resembling cram 
berries, hang until de' 
stroyed by frost late in 
the fall. Resemble the 
Snowball in wood and 
foliage. 
V. plicatum (Japanese 
Snowball). 
V. tomentosum (Japanese 
Snowball, Single). We 
have found the last two 
varieties not hardy in 
this latitude. 
V. opulus var. sterile 
(Common Snowball; 
Guelder Rose). 6 to 8 
feet. A well known fa' 
vorite shrub of large 
size, with globular clus' 
ters of pure white, ster' 
ile flowers the latter 
part of May.
