shrub for your border, large pure

ficult conditions. Branches spiny and 
foliage is a shiny dark green and not 
susceptible to attacks by insects. Flow¬ 
ers in May, followed by red or orange- 
scarlet fruits which hang on until 
winter. Makes good hedge or is fine 
in massed plantings, in these four 
beautiful varieties:

tinuous bloomer with shiny, 
leathery foliage and rugged, 
hardy growth. Blooms in clus¬ 
ters. Grows 4' to 5' high and 
makes a beautiful hedge.

rosy crimson flowers.

mer. 
Snowbcrry (Syniphoricarpos R a c e- 
mosus)—3' to 4'—A graceful plant with 
small foliage, dense twiggy branches 
which bear in the fall a profusion of 
waxy white berries. Good for shady 
locations in foundation planting.

Would you like a shrub that is of 
dense rounded growth, beautiful dark 
small foliage, that blossoms with large, 
brilliant rosy crimson flower clusters 
all summer? If you would, you can’t 
go wrong on this one, as it is excep¬ 
tionally hardy.

this one of the best shrubs grown for 
foundation plantings. Forms a dense,

single flowers in April. Surely a most 
valuable shrub.
