Ornamental Shrubs—Continued 
Hydrangea 
Fragrant Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera fra- 
grantissima) . This variety is more spreading in 
habit than the Tartarian honeysuckles just de¬ 
scribed. The foliage is deep green; the flowers 
very fragrant and appear before the leaves. This 
shrub is almost evergreen. Very desirable. Has 
a long blooming period, beginning in April. 
Height, 7 to 10 feet. 
Tatarian Honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica). 
Pink. April. This is very attractive in blossom, 
being one of the few early pink flowering shrubs. 
Has bright red berries that stay on all summer. 
7 to 9 feet. 
Gold Flower (Hypericum). Yellow, July to 
September. This rather unique low growing shrub 
always attracts attention. Flower a beautiful 
rich yellow, borne on slender stems, surrounded 
with rather roundish, leathery green leaves 
throughout the summer. During severe winters it 
often kills to the ground, but next spring will 
come back more vigorous than before. 1 to 2 feet. 
Japanese Flowering Quince (Cydonia Japonica). 
5 to 8 feet. Bushy shrub with good, glossy, dark 
green foliage and showy flowers usually red, but 
vary from white and pinks. Flowers with the 
new foliage in early May, very showy. Makes a 
good hedge. 
Kerria Japonica (Double Japan Corchorus). 
A very bright and cheerful dAvarf shrub. Its 
very numerous branches are graceful, slender, 
shiny, arching; its leaves serrated; stems and 
foliage alike a brilliant green. Its abundant dou¬ 
ble flowers like half opened rose buds, rich yel 
low. Suitable and very desirable for sheltered 
foundation planting. 
Lilac —Common—Purple or White. 10 to 15 
ft. Everyone knows the lilas and everyone loves 
it, for lilac time is a wonderful time of the year. 
Its graceful cone-shaped flowers give forth a 
fragrance that brings back many springtime 
memories. Valuable wherever a large “fool 
proof’’ shrub is wanted and unexcelled for a 
heavy screen or hedge. Universally successful. 
French Lilacs. These are the French hybrids 
so much admired and sought after. They are 
sure to furnish abundance of bloom, their rich 
Spirea, Thunbergi 
colorings are beautiful and unusual. They make 
extra fine specimens for lawn planting and in 
the shrub border. The blossoms last a long time. 
Persian Lilac —(Purple). 7 ft. A smaller, more 
graceful form of lilac than the common varieties 
listed above. Leaves are smaller and borne on 
more slender branches. Its exceptionally fragrant, 
light purple flowers are borne profusely in May. 
Splendid for foundation plantings and among low 
shrubs and borders, where the common lilacs are 
too large. 
MOCK ORANGE (PHILADELPHUS) 
Mock Orange (Virginal). Probably the most 
valuable of all the Mock oranges. The flowers 
are larger and more fragrant than those of other 
varieties and its blossoming season is one of the 
longest. 5 ft. 
Mock Orange (Grandiflora) . Large flowering. 
A somewhat more vigorous growing shrub than 
the Coronarius. Fairly covered with large white 
flowers early in the summer. Unrivalled for 
screening or background in a heavy planting. 
9 ft. 
Mock Orange (Lemoines). A splendid, medium 
height mock orange, with very fragrant white 
flowers. Excellent in foundation plantings. 5 ft.
