Spring...Summer...Fall — A Gorgeous Array 
Spirea Anthony Waterer 
Viburnums 
The Viburnums are our most useful 
shrubs, being hardy, of good habit, 
bearing handsome flowers in Summer, 
followed by showy fruits and should 
be in every garden. The foliage is most 
striking throughout summer and fall. 
They thrive exceptionally well in 
shady wet places where other shrubs 
fail but are equally well at home in 
the bright sunshine. 
V. AMERICANUM (American 
Cranberry Bush) —Similar to Vibur¬ 
num Opulus but habit more open 
and spreading. This is a handsome 
native shrub, very decorative in 
fruit, which begins to color in July, 
remaining on branches and keeping 
its color until the following Spring. 
V. CARLESI (Fragrant Viburnum)— 
An early-flowering Viburnum of 
fine habit, beairng highly fragrant 
white flowers in May with the 
aroma of cloves, being one of the 
first shrubs to flower. We consider 
this one of the most important intro¬ 
ductions of recent years.
