Hedge of Hemlock Spruce 
VIBURNUM acerifolium. Dockmackie. 4 to 5 ft. Three- 
lobed, maple-like leaves assume a dark purple tall color. 
Inconspicuous, yellowish white flowers are borne in the 
summer, followed by black berries. 
V. Carlesi. Fragrant Pink Snowball. 4 to 6 ft. Plant this 
shrub for something that is both rare and very beautiful. 
Its pinkish, wax-like flowers are delightfully fragrant. The 
spice-like odor from one blossom will permeate an entire 
room. The spread of the plant will exceed its height. 
V. cassinoides. Withe-Rod; Appalachian Tea. 2 to 6 ft. 
An upright shrub with thick, dull green leaves, yellowish 
white flowers, and pink berries changing to dark blue. 
This plant is suited to groups and borders. 
V. dentatum. Arrow-Wood. 10 to 15 ft. A handsome native 
shrub that thrives best in a moist soil. The large flowers 
and blue-black fruit are very attractive. 
V. dilatatum. Linden Viburnum. 7 to 10 ft. Pure white 
flowers, attractive rough leaves, and scarlet berries which 
stay on the branches all winter are a few of the good points 
of this shrub. It is both handsome and hardy. 
V. Lantana. Wayfaring-Tree. 18 to 20 ft. A small tree with 
white flowers and bright red fruit. The foliage is at its best 
in the autumn when it turns to various shades of red. 
V. molle. Kentucky Viburnum. 10 to 15 ft. This shrub is 
similar to Dentatum but handsomer on account of its 
larger, darker green leaves and more robust habit. 
V. nudum. Smooth Withe-rod. 10 to 15 ft. An attractive 
bush with shiny, wax-like foliage, pink fruit which changes 
to dark blue, and white flowers. 
V. Opulus. Cranberry-Bush; Highbush Cranberry. 10 to 12 ft. 
A handsome native shrub with attractive three-Iobed leaves 
and white flowers. Its chief beauty lies, however, in the 
decorative fruit which begins to color by the end of July and 
remains on the branches until spring. 
V. Opulus sterile. Common Snowball. 10 to 12 ft. A very 
showy variety lacking, however, the fruit of Opulus. It 
is covered, in spring, with perfect balls of snowy white 
flowers. This shrub really needs no description as it is 
one of the most popular of all flowering shrubs. 
V. rhytidophyllum. Leatherleaf Evergreen Snowball. 8 to 10 ft. 
A rare and very beautiful plant. It has large, oblong, ever¬ 
green leaves, dark green above and grayish beneath, bright 
red berries, and inconspicuous yellowish white flowers. This 
is a valuable plant to use for foliage contrast. 
V. tomentosum. Single Japanese Snowball. 8 to 10 ft. Re¬ 
markably beautiful olive-green foliage identifies this species. 
The white flowers are in flat heads and are followed by red 
fruits which change to bluish black later in the season. 
V. tomentosum plicatum. Japanese Snowball. 8 to 10 ft. 
This plant has all of the desirable qualities of the Single 
Japanese Snowball in addition to much showier flowers. 
These blooms form large, round balls of pure white. 
V. Wrighti. 8 to 10 ft. A hardy shrub, similar to Dilatatum, 
but of a less dense habit. It has the same white flowers and 
red fruit. 
Chinese Elm (Ulmus primula) 
VINCA major. Large Periwinkle. A good 
evergreen ground-cover for a shaded place. 
The five-Iobed, blue flowers are attractive 
among the shining leaves. 
V. minor. Common Periwinkle; Trailing 
Myrtle. This is the trailing vine that is 
found in most country gardens and ceme¬ 
teries. It is similar to Major but is smaller 
in all of its parts. Both of the Vincas will 
thrive where grass will not grow. 
VIRGIN’S BOWER. See Clematis virginiana. 
VIRGINIA CREEPER. See Ampelopsis. 
VITEX Agnus-castus. Chaste-Tree. 7 to 8 it. 
This dainty shrub should be used more. It 
has flower-spikes of a beautiful shade of 
lilac-blue and gray-green star-shaped 
leaves. The flowers have a strong aromatic 
odor. See color illustration, fourth cover. 
V. macrophylla. Bigleaf Chaste-Tree. 5 to 
6 ft. This shrub is similar to Agnus-castus 
except that it has larger leaves. It is an 
improvement on the type and one of the 
best shrubs for late bloom.

Pink, Yellow, and White.
