White Snowberries 
SNOWBERRY 
( Syrnp Wiflcarpos) 
Their Clustered Berries are a Delightful Part of the 
Fall Landscape 
SNOWBERRY (Racemosus). Tiny rose-colored 
flowers in June and July, followed by large, clus¬ 
tered, milk-white fruits which are so attractive 
and which remain far into winter. The bush itselt 
is compact in form, semi-dwarf in habit, and 
grows well in shade or sunlight. 3 to 4 feet. 
CORALBERRY 
(Indian Currant; Red Snowberry; Vulgaris) 
Quite like the White Snowberry except that its 
fruits are red, and cluster in thick ropes along the 
weighted-down stems. The foliage is distinct in its 
fineness, and with the White Snowberry, is very 
valuable for border planting. Dwarf in form, grow¬ 
ing from two to four feet high. 
What a Whale of a Difference a Few Cents Make’ 
TAMARIX 
A slender branched shrub with feathery green foliage. It blossoms in July with feath¬ 
ered delicate sprays of pink flowers. Since the tops are apt to kill back some during 
the winter it is well to cut the bush back in the spring to two or three feet above the 
ground. Thereafter it will make a rapid growth and will blossom beautifully. Does well 
in sandy and poor soils. 
AMURENSE. A variety with a light green foliage HISPIDA. A variety with bluish green foliage and 
and pink flowers. carmine-pink flowers.

This is a showy group of shrubs that grow from six to ten feet high. They have 
lavish flat-topped white flowers in June, followed by colorful berries in the late summer 
and fall; these usually persist through the winter. In the fall the foliage takes on all the 
autumn hues of our native landscape, making them valuable for their fall color. Ideal 
for mass planting. They do well in shade and are perfectly hardy. Prefer a loam or 
clay soil. 
AMERICAN HIGH BUSH CRANBERRY (Amer- 
icanum). Large bunches of shiny scarlet berries 
in the fall and winter are a distinguishing feature 
and are particularly ornamental. The foliage also 
changes to a beautiful red in the fall. In June 
the bright green foliage sets off so well the flat 
white flowers. A fine tall shrub for landscape use, 
of open habit, growing seven to ten feet high. 
EUROPEAN HIGH BUSH CRANBERRY (Opu- 
lus). The well-known Cranberry Bush of old 
gardens. A more compact shrub but very subject 
to aphis infections; otherwise, like the American 
High Bush Cranberry. 
CARLESI (Fragrant Viburnum). Clusters of clove- 
scented flowers in May; rose-pink in bud, opening 
up into a more delicate pink and paling to white. 
Its sweetness makes it a delight in any garden.
