TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS FOR AMERICAN HOMES 
II 
Mahonia - Ashberry 
(Balled and Burlapped). 
Aquifolium (Holly-Leaved Mahonia). Ornamental native shrubs grown chiefly 
for their handsome evergreen foliage and large panicles of showy flowers. 
Privet 
Amur River. A large shrub with upright branches, growing 8 to 12 feet tall. 
Native of China. Leaves dark green and lustrous. Flowers white, in erect 
panicles. 
Regel’s. A low, dense growing shrub, with graceful spreading branches. It has 
small flowers which are followed by beautiful berries which last throughout 
the winter. It is absolutely hardy and an admirable shrub for most every 
purpose. Height, 5 feet. 
Ibota (Japanese Privet). A large shrub, with graceful branches; flowers white, 
in panicles, followed by bluish black berries. The Ibota is thrifty in shady 
locations and stands the dust and smoke of the cities. Very hardy. Ultimate 
height, 7 feet. 
Quince, Japan - Cydonia Japonica 
Very ornamental in early spring, as its bright scarlet flowers completely cover 
the branches before the leaves are formed. Makes a good hedge. Blooms in early 
May. 
Rhodotypos - Jetbead 
Kerrioides (White Kerria). Foliage very large and handsome; branches clus¬ 
tered with delicate white, pendulous flowers in spring, followed by black berries 
which persist throughout the winter. Ultimate height, 5 feet. 
Rosa Hugonis 
Hugonis Rose or Golden Rose of China. This Rose is listed here because 
of its exceptional adaptability for shrubbery planting, making a symmetrical 
bush 6 feet in height and as much in diameter. In spring its long, arching 
sprays are lined to the tip on both sides with single yellow flowers resembling 
dainty yellow Hollyhocks. Hardy. 
Snowball - Viburnum 
Americanum (High Bush Cranberry). Similar to Opulus but more open and 
spreading, with longer, more numerous, more visible and longer lasting fruits 
of a bright scarlet shade persisting from July until spring, mainly because the 
birds will not eat them. 
Carlesi (Mayflower Viburnum). Fragrant Snowball. A truly wonderful new 
medium sized shrub from Korea prized for its exquisite fragrance, similar to 
that of the Trailing Arbutus. The waxy flower clusters, pink in bud, pure white 
when open, appear early in the spring. Thrives under most usual conditions, 
but does best in partial shade and cool, moist soil. A charming plant for the 
foreground of the border or in plantings about the house. Ultimate height, 5 ft. 
Dentatum. Has glossy green foliage, white flowers in June; crimson berries 
turning blue in autumn. One of the best shrubs for landscape planting. Ulti¬ 
mate height, 12 to 15 feet. 
Lantana. Upright shrub growing 10 to 12 feet high, with rough, light green 
foliage. Large heads of white flowers in June, followed by bright red fruit. 
Height, 12 to 15 feet. 
Lentago (Nannyberry). Creamy white, very fragrant flowers, light glossy green 
foliage, and oval, bluish black berries. 
Plicatum (Japan Snowball). A rare and exceedingly beautiful species of Japan; 
flowers in large, globular heads; pure white, hanging long on the bush; a very 
choice and desirable shrub. Blooms in May. Ultimate height, 8 feet. 
Opulus (Cranberry, High Bush). A very decorative native shrub, growing 8 to 
10 feet high, with white flowers in May followed by beautiful, showy clusters 
of scarlet fruit. 
Opulus Sterile (Common Snowball). The old-fashioned Snowball; its large, 
globular clusters of pure white flowers are produced in May and June, and 
make a very attractive appearance. Height, 10 to 12 feet. 
Tomentosum. A most beautiful and useful shrub, used as a specimen or in the 
shrubbery border. Grows 8 to 12 feet. White flowers appearing in June. 
Snowberry - Symphoricarpos 
Small pink flowers in June or July, which in August form into pure white waxy 
berries. These hang till December, sometimes nearly all winter. Will grow under 
trees in dense shade and will succeed in poor soil where practically nothing else 
will grow. It does well in sandy soil, in smoky, dusty city situations. Furnishes 
food and nesting sites for birds, because of its very dense branches and foliage. 
Chenaulti. A bushier variety than the common Snowberry, covered with pink 
berries in summer and autumn. 
Racemosus (White). Small, rose-colored flowers in June and July, followed by- 
large clustered, milk-white fruits, which remain far into winter. The combina¬ 
tion of pink flowers and white berries on the same twig is charming. July to 
October. Ultimate height, 5 to 6 feet. 
Vulgaris (Indian Currant; Red Fruited or Coralberry). A low-growing, graceful 
shrub. Its fruits are red and the smaller red berries cluster in thick ropes along 
the weighted down stems. August. Ultimate height, 4 to 5 feet. 
Cydonia Japonica 
Rhodotypos Kerrioides 
Viburnum Carlesi 
Symphoricarpos Racemosus
