Viburnum opulus nanum

foundation and border plantings. It does not flower, but has smaller 
leaves than the taller varieties which grow down close to the 
ground. 
Viburnum opulus sterile 
COMMON SNOWBALL 
This familiar old fashioned shrub is popularly planted today 
for the large greenish-white balls of flowers covering the branches 
in spring. Except for these showy blooms, the plant is similar 
to Viburnum opulus. 
Viburnum prunifolium

This tree-like shrub has typical flower clusters blooming a 
little earlier than other viburnums; the branches are twiggier, 
and the leaves rounder. The black flattened fruits are edible. 
Height 15 ft. 
Viburnum sieboldi 
SIEBOLD VIBURNUM 
Growing to a height of 10 feet, the Siebold Viburnum often 
becomes tree-like in habit of growth. It has bright lustrous, peppery- 
scented leaves and large clusters of creamy-white flowers followed 
by berries which turn from red to black and fall with the first frost. 
Viburnum tomentosum 
DOUBLEFILE VIBURNUM 
Showy white snowball-like flowers in May and June, fol¬ 
lowed by red fruit (later bluish-black) distinguish this shrub from 
other varieties. It is very handsome and is a distinctive addition 
to any landscape planting. Six feet is as high as it usually gets. 
Viburnum tomentosum plicatum 
JAPANESE SNOWBALL 
The Japanese Snowball is the most familiar of the snowball 
forms. It is a dense grower with compact heads of white sterile 
flowers. A useful shrub for specimen or border planting.

Viburnum carlesi 
FRAGRANT VIBURNUM 
Few shrubs can be considered more beautiful than this 
Viburnum. It is round topped and about six feet high finally. In 
spring, before the leaves are entirely out, lovely pink clusters 
of flowers with the fragrance of Trailing Arbutus, make the 
shrub most desirable. The leaves are blue green and show off 
to advantage the blue-black berries in the fall. 
Viburnum cassinoides 
WITHE-ROD 
Useful in many locations, this upright shrub is frequently 
planted in the border for its beautifully brilliant fall foliage. The 
white clusters ol flowers in June later become clusters of pink 
fruit, changing blue and decorating the shrub late in the season. 
It tolerates wet places and grows to 8 feet. 
Viburnum dentatum 
ARROWWOOD

shade make this shrub widely planted. Adding to its attractive¬ 
ness are white flower clusters in spring and blue berries in fall.

WAYFARING TREE 
This vigorous shrub, suitable for specimen planting, grows 
to 15 feet and has distinctive dark green, wrinkled leaves, lighter 
green beneath. Its flower clusters are white; the new red fruit 
turns black. It grows in drier soil than most viburnums without 
suffering. 
Viburnum lentago 
NANNYBERRY, SHEEPBERRY,

ance and a height of 10 ft. that makes it most useful in borders.

clusters are black. Brilliant fall coloring. 
Viburnum molle 
KENTUCKY VIBURNUM

Viburnum Dentatum. The large white flower clusters are followed 
with clusters of bluish black berries.
