VIBURNUM - Snowball 
Viburnums comprise a very large endless family, the despair of 
anyone who is trying to differentiate between the species. We 
list but o few of the most floriferous and best suited for the aver¬ 
age small garden where a lot of flowers is first consideration. 
Burkwoodi (New English Introduction) Each $3.50, Doz. $35.00 
Improved Corlesi. Waxy blush-white and deliciously fragrant, 
the flowers of this new fragrant Viburnum are produced in early 
spring when the leaves are unfolding. They form round, domed 
clusters, and the gardenia-like fragrance is so sweet as to per¬ 
vade a large area. The plant grows about 4 feet high and 5 to 
6 feet in diameter. It likes a well drained, sunny place, with 
plenty of moisture throughout the season. This is a new jewel 
for the garden—a real aristocrat. For the small garden, where 
there is room only for the choicest shrubs, the one Viburnum 
above oil others that should be grown, is Viburnum Burkwoodi. 
Foliage brilliant in autumn. 
(^gj^lesi Each $2.75, Doz. $27.50 
Waxy white, deliciously fragrant flowers are produced in early 
spring when the leaves are unfolding. This fragrant Snowball 
is a great favorite. It is very hardy, easily grown and does well 
in light shade, as well as in full sun. 
Tomentosum Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
If all the other Viburnums were thrown into the discard, this 
one would justify the family. It is a superb flowering shrub and 
the spectacle of a good Tomentosum in bloom is a sight not 
ever to be forgotten. In early June the horizontal branches be¬ 
come perfect mosaics of wheel-like clusters ringed with daz¬ 
zling white flowers, with spidery sunburst centers, resembling 
a fall of snow still remaining on the horizontal branches. Ulti¬ 
mate height 8 feet. 
Tomentosum plicatum Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
The Japanese Snowball has its pure white flowers arranged in 
a perfectly round boll 3 to 4 inches across. Its clean foliage 
is quite similar to the Tomentosum. Much neater and in every 
way superior to the common Snowball which is usually covered 
with aphids. It makes a commanding specimen and there are 
few shrubs handsomer than this when well grown. 
Viburnum Tomentosum Plicatum 
VITEX - Chaste Tree 
Macrophylla $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
A graceful shrub with attractive spikes of lovely lavender-blue 
flowers. Blooms profusely from July until foil and grows more 
than 10 feet high unless pruned back. It is a most desirable 
summer-flowering shrub of distinctive appearance. Fits in well 
in the border and is also suitable as a lawn plant. Its form and 
foliage os well as the lilac flowers are very unusual. 
Macrophylla, Pale Pink Each $1.50, Doz. $15X10 
A charming blush-white form of the above; very scarce.
