ROSA hugonis. 6'-8\ Hugonis Rose. In early May 
each arching branch becomes almost overnight a 
251 beautiful rope of clear yellow single flowers. And the 
small, fernlike foliage alone justifies its use in the 
shrub border. 
R. rugosa. 5'-6'. Red Rugosa Rose. Handsome as a 
massed shrub, with rich green glossy foliage and 
252 surprisingly large, single, crepelike deep pink flowers 
that scent the air with fragrance. The large yellow 
and red hips are decorative, too. A useful shrub for 
seaside exposures. 
R. wichuraiana. Vine, 8'-10'. A Memorial Rose. Most 
useful as a ground cover on sunny slopes where the 
253 small, glossy green leaves effectively hide the long, 
stringy vines, which root where they touch the ground. 
Small single white flowers brighten the picture in 
July. Has red fruits. 
SPIRAEA Anthony Waterer. 3'. Waterer Spirea. 
Flat-topped heads of rose pink flowers are produced 
254 all Summer. Compact, useful shrub for “facing” tall 
border shrubs. 
S. prunifolia. Bridalwreatb. Pure, double white 
255 flowers; foliage fades yellow in Fall. 
S. thunbergi. 4'-5'. Tbunberg Spirea. Even finer 
than “arguta” this feathery light green shrub is a 
256 bank of snow in April when every twig bears its quota 
of white flowerlets. Striking orange and scarlet 
Autumn coloring. 
S. vanhouttei. 6'-8b Vanhoutte Spirea. Generally 
“overdone” but nevertheless very beautiful in June, 
when the arching branches are transformed into 
257 snowy garlands which defy description. Fortunately 
no special soil or location is needed, but space it must 
have and please don’t prune formally or “bob” its 
growth—let it grow naturally. 
STEPHANANDRA flexuosa. 5'-6'. CutleajStephanandra. 
Deciduous. A very good hedge plant, arching 
258 branches, with finely cut green leaves turning to 
reddish purple in Fall. 
STYRAX japonica. 18'-20'. Japanese Snowbell. 
259 Deciduous. The pure white bells in July are a picture. 
Good as a specimen. 
SYMPHORICARPOS racemosus. 4'-5'. Snowberry. 
260 Deciduous. Known for its waxy berries in Fall. 
S. vulgaris. 4'-5'. Coralberry. Splendid for 
261 naturalizing and mass plantings. Attractive when 
bunches of coral berries come in Fall. 
LILAC 
SYRINGA chinensis. 12'-15'. Chinese Lilac. Slender, 
graceful branches terminate in compact clusters of 
262 purple lilac flowers. This hybrid form is generally 
conceded as better than its parent “Persica” for 
general uses and cutting. 
S. vulgaris. 12'-15'. Common Purple Lilac. A great 
old commoner, the mere mention of which never 
263 fails to recall the delicious fragrance of May. By 
close association with man from early days, has 
become an institution. No matter where you place 
it the lovely flowers will smile at you every year, so 
don’t fuss about a particular spot. 
S. vulgaris alba. 12'-15'. Common White Lilac. 
264 Is the white form more fragrant? Just try them side 
by side. 
FRENCH LILAC. S'-IO'. Hybrid Lilac. 
265 Ludwig Spaeth. Large clusters of dull purple flowers. 
266 Michael Buchner. 10'12'. Double pink flowers. 
267 Mme. Lemoine. 6'-8'. Double snow white. 
268 President Grevy. 12'-15'. Double blue violet. 
VACCINIUM corymbosum. 6'-8'. Higbbusb Blueberry. 
269 Great for Fall coloring, the leaves turn pink to purple. 
Good for naturalistic planting. 
VIBURNUM carlesi. 4'-5'. Fragrant Viburnum. The 
270 best of the Viburnums, covered with pink, fragrant 
flowers in May. Grows wider than high. 
V. dentatum. 10'-12'. Arrowwocd. Has creamy white 
flowers in May, and black berries later. Purple 
271 and red shade are typical for Autumn dress, seen 
to best advantage when massed in half shady, moist 
spot. 
V. opulus. lO'-PJ'. European Cranberry. Runner-up 
272 to the American variety to which it is similar. 
V. opulus sterile. 10'12'. Common Snowball. An 
273 old-fashioned shrub with balls of white flowers; prolific 
bloomer, usually in full bloom on Decoration Day. 
V. tomentosum. 8'-l(y. Doublefile Viburnum. The 
beau-brunnnel of the family whose neatness is of little 
274 note beside the handsome spectacle afforded by a well 
grown specimen in full bloom. The flat topped clusters 
of pure white flowers are thickly strung along the top 
of the horizontal branches so as to resemble a fall of 
snow. The purple foliage color is distinctive too. By 
all means an indispensable. 
V. plicatum. 7'-8'. Japanese Snowball. In June the 
familiar white, 3 in. “Snowballs” are generously 
275 studded over a well clothed shrub, a cheerful picture; 
no fruits. 
VITEX macrophylla. 5'-6'. Bigleaj Chastetree. 
A dainty shrub with branching spikes of very attrac- 
276 tive lavender blue flowers in September beautifully 
offset by the star-shaped gray green leaves. Must 
have sun. Prune in Spring. 
WEIGELA, Eva Rathke. 4'-5'. Redflowenng Weigela. 
Almost continuously throughout the Summer the 
277 short branches are actually covered with reddish 
carmine blossoms. 
W. rosea. 6'-8'. Pink Weigela. After the long term 
278 of admirable service should be retired in favor of 
its lovely daughters. Just as vigorous as any. 
WISTERIA 
WISTERIA sinensis. 30'-40'. Chinese Wisteria. Shorter 
and therefore more compact sprays of the beautiful 
279 pea blossoms open a little before “Longcluster.” 
That same delectable scent thrills the senses. Sun, 
drainage needed. Lavender or White. 
ZANTHORHIZA apiifolia. 2'-2J^'. Yellowroot. For 
under planting with leggy shrubs no better selection 
280 could be made. Either in sun or shade, moist or dry 
places it will quickly spread to form a light ground 
cover and open its curious brownish purple flowers. 
Will not thrive in lime soil.
