Hardy Ornamental and 
Flowering Shrubs 
ALMOND, Flowering (Prunus glandulosa) 
A well known bushy shrub producing a profusion of double 
pink or white, roselike blossoms early in the spring before the 
leaves appear. 3 to 5 feet. Choice of pink or white. 
ALTHEA, Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) 
A free flowering, treelike shrub blooming in August and Sep- 
tember after the other shrubs are through. Flowers similar to 
the Hollyhock and are very showy. 6 to 10 feet at maturity. 
Choice of Double Blue, Double Red, Double Rose, Double 
Purple and Double White. See colored illustration. 
ARONIA (See Chokeberry) 
BARBERRY (Berberis) 
Japanese Barberry (B. Thunbergi). One of the most useful 
and ornamental shrubs either for hedging or general pur- 
poses. Bright green foliage in summer turning-to brilliant 
autumn colors and shades in fall, and a handsome covering 
of scarlet berries that last into winter. Hardy, and thrives in 
shade or sunlight. 3 to 5 feet at maturity. 
Red-Leaf Barberry (B. Thunbergi atropurpurea). Very sim- 
ilar in growth and habit to the Japanese Barberry except the 
foliage is a rich bronze-red throughout the season, more pro- 
nounced when planted in open sunny places. 
BEAUTY BUSH (Kolkwitzia amabilis) 
This new shrub is all that the name implies; its graceful, 
arching branches, covered in May and June with bell-shaped 
flowers of a pleasing shade of pink, makes it a very desirable 
addition to foundation or informal planting. 4 to 6 feet.

but with one or more of the outer rows of petals
