Ornamental Shrubs—Continued 
Weigelia 
Spirea Trichocarpa (New Korean Spirea). A 
very valuable addition to the long list of Spireas. 
Blooms ten days to two weeks after Van Houttei, 
most definitely extending the flowering season for 
plants of this type. It is of medium height, with 
spreading, somewhat drooping branches. White 
flowers, in rounding clusters, are borne freely along 
the stems, giving the appearance of long fronds of 
flowers. Hardy as Van Houttei and larger flowers. 
Spiraea (douglasi). Underside of leaf downy 
white; pyramidal panicles of rosy red flowers 
making a striking contrast with the foliage. 6 
feet. 
Spiraea (prunifolia)—Bridalwreath. Upright 
shrub with shining dark green foliage and clus¬ 
ters of double white flowers. 6 feet. 
SUMAC—(RHUS) 
Shining Sumac (Rhus copallina). Large shrub 
with long, compound foliage brilliant in autumn; 
large panicles of red fruit. 12 feet. 
Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra). Large native 
shrub with dense panicles of scarlet fruit ten 
inches long; fruits in August and September. 
10 feet. 
Siberian Pea-tree (Caragana arborescens). 
Large spreading shrub producing an abundance of 
small, yellow, pea-shaped flowers in May, fol¬ 
lowed by small, pea-shaped pods. 12 feet. 
TAMARIX 
African Tamarix (Tamarix africana). Large 
irregular growing shrub with fine, feathery foliage 
and terminal flowers of delicate pink. 15 feet. 
Odessa Tamarix (Tamarix odessana). A dwarf 
variety seldom over six feet. Upright slender 
branches covered with pink flowers from July to 
September. A good variety for use in the shrub 
border. 
VIBURNUM—SNOWBALL 
Viburnum Americanum (High bush Cranberry). 
A sturdy, vigorous bush, with soft white flowers 
closely resembling the Snowball. It is very 
beautiful in the fall of the year when it is loaded 
with clusters of ornamental berries that are re¬ 
tained until late in the wintdr. This is another 
shrub that will do well on the north side of build¬ 
ings where little sunlight reaches. Very hardy, 
and popular in all sections. 
Viburnum—lantana (Wayfaring-tree). Large, 
flat white panicles of flowers in May followed by 
scarlet fruit; rich dark foliage. 15 feet. 
Viburnum plicatum (Japanese Snowball). (F). 
6 to 8 feet. White. May. This species is one 
of the most satisfactory shrubs grown. Its pure 
white double blossoms with a setting of dark 
plaited leaves and perfect form make it one of 
the best. Fine for an individual specimen or in 
groups. 
' Viburnum—tomentosum (Doublefile Viburnum). 
Dark heavily veined leaves, panicles of flat, white 
flowers, followed by red fruit, changing to bluish 
black. 8 feet. 
Rhodotypos kerriodes (Jetbead). Branching 
shrub with shiny leaves and large, white flowers; 
followed in autumn with compact clusters of shiny 
black berries. 6 feet. 
WEIGELA—(DIERVILLA) 
Weigela Rosea Nana Variegata. Leaves beau¬ 
tifully margined creamy white; flowers pink. It 
is a dwarf grower and admirably adapted to small 
lawns or gardens. 
Weigela floribunda (Crimson Weigela). Vigor¬ 
ous grower and extremely profuse with its bright 
crimson flowers, made brighter by contrast with 
the lustrous green foliage. Native of Japan. 
8 feet. 
Weigela Eva Rathke. Perhaps the most 
showy of all, with deep glowing red flowers. Very 
profuse flowering, blossoming nearly all summer. 
Not as tall growing as other varieties. 
Weigela Rosea. A free flowering shrub with 
numerous spreading branches. Flowers rose 
colored, large and showy, produced in great
