MOCKORANGE (Philadelphus) 
Sweet Mockorange (Philadelphus coro- 
narius). A hardy, vigorous shrub of up¬ 
right habit, arching branches. Often 8 to 
10 ft. high. Flowers creamy white, exces¬ 
sively fragrant and borne in great profu¬ 
sion. A sort without which no lawn collec¬ 
tion is complete. Will stand shade and 
grow near trees. Color illustration, page 25. 
Virginal Mockorange (Philadelphus vir- 
ginalis). A new choice, fragrant variety 
with large, creamy white, semi-double 
flowers. This is one of the most handsome 
and most fragrant of the Moekoranges. 
This variety will have some flowers on it 
most all Summer. This distinctive shrub is 
an ornament in any planting. Grows 6 to 
8 ft. Color illustration on page 25. 
PLUM (Prunus) 
Prunus pissardi (Purple-leaved Plum). 
Leaves when young are a lustrous crimson, 
changing to dark purple, and retain this 
beautiful tint until they drop late in the 
Autumn; no other purple leaved tree re¬ 
tains its color like this. Flowers small, 
white, single, covering the tree. 
Prunus tomentosa (Nanking Cherry). 
Grows 6 to 8 ft. Covered with a mass of 
white bloom before the foliage appears, 
giving way to an exuberant crop of small, 
scarlet Cherries much relished by birds. 
Plant this tree for your birds. 
PRIVET (Ligustrum) 
Golden Ligustrum. A shrub of medium 
height. Broad, dark green foliage, golden 
variegated. Covered with masses of white 
flowers during Midsummer. An excellent 
shrub for the border. 
Ibota Privet (Ligustrum ibota). Makes 
up into striking tall clumps, or informal 
screening hedges, with widespread curving 
branches; very vigorous and hardy. The 
foliage is grayish green; shoWy, fragrant 
white flower plumes in June, followed by 
persisting blue-black berries. 
Regel’s Privet (Ligustrum regelianum). 
A strong, very hardy type, with dark and 
shiny leaves. The numerous branches are 
stiff, twiggy and horizontally spreading, 
gracefully drooping at the ends. Makes a 
naturally wide, dense bush particularly 
adaptable to foundation plantings. 
PURPLE FRINGE (Smoketree) 
Rhus cotinus. A conspicuous spreading 
shrub or small tree with large clusters of 
round leaves; overhung in Midsummer by 
mistlike clouds of tiny flowers. These bil¬ 
lowing panicles are a light lavender when 
fresh, very persistent, and give the impres¬ 
sion of smoke at a distance. 
PUSSY WILLOW 
A large shrub or small tree that will grow 
most anywhere with average moisture. The 
silky catkins which herald the coming of 
Spring are beautiful on the limb or when cut 
and taken indoors for a bouquet. 
REDBUD (Judas-tree) 
A small growing tree of irregular form. A 
native of Virginia. In early Spring before the 
leaves appear, is covered with delicate pink 
blossoms. A charming association among 
Dogwoods, Flowering Cherries, Flowering 
Crabs and other Dwarf Early Flowering 
Trees. Has a place in every garden.

which are followed by bunches of glistening 
black berries, which remain through the 
Summer and Winter. 
SNOWBALL (Viburnum) 
Common Snowball (Viburnum opulus 
sterilis). The fine, hardy shrub with 
beautiful large clusters of globular flowers. 
All the flowers are sterile and radiant. An 
old-fashioned favorite, and one of the finest 
all-around shrubs. See pagk 23. 
Japanese Snowball (Viburnum tomento- 
sum plicatum). One of the choicest of 
the hardy shrubs. Large globular clusters 
3 to 4 in. across, of sterile, radiant flowers 
of cleanest white. This is an excellent shrub.

(Symphoricarpos racemosus) 
The choicest of the Snowberries, forming 
a most graceful and shapely plant about 
3 feet high and 5 feet in diameter. Small 
foliage, dense, twiggy branches, which bear 
in the Fall a profusion of waxy white fruits.
