DECORATIVE SHRUBS 15 
Kerria japonica flore-pleno. Double Kerria 
KERRIA japonica. Single Kerria 
Slender, graceful shrub of medium 
height. Pretty, single, bright yellow 
flowers appear in June, and its bark, 
light green the year round, makes it 
attractive in winter. Indifferent to 
partial shade but must have a well- 
drained soil. 
K. japonica flore-pleno. Double Kerria 
Similar to the preceding variety. 
More vigorous in growth, with double j 
chrysanthemum-like yellow flowers in 
J une and appearing more or Iessthrough- j 
out the summer. 
LIGUSTRUM amurense. Amur Privet 
An upright plant similar to the better- 
known California Privet, but more 
hardy. Makes a very fine formal hedge 
or screen and, like all the Privets, en¬ 
dures semi-shade. 
L. Ibolium. Ibolium Privet 
The most satisfactory of all the } 
Privets for hedges. It has the large, 
glossy foliage of the California variety, 
and the spreading habit and hardiness of 
the Ibota. We believe that this will soon 
supplant the California, which is not 
always dependable. 
L. Ibota. Ibota Privet 
In this variety the branches are more 
spreading, and if unsheared will grow 10 
feet tall. Has a rather showy lilac-like 
white flower and in the fall and winter 
is covered with blue-black berries at¬ 
tractive to the birds. Very valuable for 
screen and border planting, as well as a 
fine hedge plant. 
L. obtusifolium Regelianum. Regel Privet 
A low' shrub with branches that are 
almost horizontal. It has dense foliage, 
and its graceful habit of growth makes 
it a fine variety for foundation and 
border planting, as well as for hedges. 
L. ovalifolium. California Privet 
Probably the most popular hedge 
plant but unfortunately less hardy than 
the other Privets. Handsome, upright 
growth with dark glossy green leaves.

will be found in our Price-List. 
LONICERA bella albida. 
White Belle Honeysuckle 
Upright, spreading shrub, usually 
growing 6 to H feet tall. Small, pinkish 
white flowers in May, followed in August 
and September by a grand profusion of 
red berries. This attractive shrub grows 
in any soil and likes a sunny location. 
Birds are very fond of the fruits. 
L. fragrantissima. Winter Honeysuckle 
Early in the spring, before the foliage, 
numerous small, very sweet-scented 
flowers appear. The rich green foliage 
persists until midwinter. 
L. Korolkowi floribunda. 
Blue-leaf Honeysuckle 
Tall, broad-headed shrub with strik¬ 
ing blue-gray foliage which contrasts 
beautifully with its abundance of dainty 
pink flowers in May. Blooms are fol¬ 
lowed by bright red fruits. A valuable 
addition to any border if given plenty of 
room. 
L. Maacki. Amur Honeysuckle 
In the fall this plant is highly orna¬ 
mental, with its great number of bright 
red berries. Tail growing; indifferent 
to soil-conditions but likes a sunny 
location.

Wide, spreading branches, growing 
about 6 feet tall. Pretty white flowers 
in May followed by large quantities of 
blood-red fruits in August.

flowers.

height, with dark green aromatic foliage. 
In winter its compact clusters of waxy, 
grayish white berries are very conspicu¬ 
ous. Particularly valuable for planting
