VIBURNUM burkwoodi, BURKWOOD VIBURNUM. H5. This is probably the most 
valuable novelty in flowering shrubs that has appeared for many years. It was recently 
originated in England (where it took all possible awards) as the outcome of a cross 
between the well-known deciduous Viburnum carlesi and the little-known evergreen, 
Viburnum utile. The result is a fast growing, very hardy, semi-evergreen shrub bear¬ 
ing flowers fully as fragrant as V. carlesi but in far larger heads up to four inches 
broad and containing as many as 250 individual flowers. These are pinkish in the bud 
but open white, and appear about a month earlier than those of V. carlesi. Foliage is 
rich, glossy green, which turns purplish bronze with winter weather. Reliably reported 
hardy to Lake Erie and even Southern Ontario. We believe that this is sure to become 
one of America’s most popular shrubs. Pot grown l 1 / 4-2 ft. $1.50, 15-18 in. $1.25, 12-15 
in. $1.00.
