Huckleberry 

Nursery Grown Native Shrubs 
Elder, Red-berried 
Similar to Common Elder but bearing red berries. 
Birds will eat the berries only as a last resort, so 
the fruit hangs well on into the season. 
Fothergillia 
This is often called a Dwarf Alder, growing 2 to 
5 feet high. Pinkish white blooms appear in April. 
It is a native of the southern states but is reported 
hardy much farther north. 
Haw, Black 
An interesting shrub with dainty blossoms and 
almost black fruit. Plum-shaped leaves. Prefers 
the rich soil of well drained woodsy slopes. 
Hawthorn, Dotted 
Very similar to Cockspur Thorn. Fruit is red or 
yellow, dotted with brown. Prefers rich meadow 
land of stream banks. 
Hazelnut 
This handsome and decorative large shrub or 
small tree is a familiar sight over a wide area of 
eastern United States in rich meadow lands or 
along stream banks where the soil is deep and fer- 
tile. It transplants readily when small. Its fruit is 
an universal favorite. 
Hercules Club 
Decorative, rapid-spreading shrub. Beautiful 
clusters of creamy white flowers, black berries. In 
spite of its charm it should be used carefully and 
not planted where it will dominate other shrubs. 
Hobble-bush 
Beautiful, white flowers in snowy clusters followed 
by reddish-purple berries, thick, leathery foliage. 
This interesting shrub is a native of the cool shade 
of our hemlock forests. 
Holly, Deciduous; Winterberry 
A handsome show in fall with clusters of bright 
red berries which hang on well into early winter. 
Grows naturally in rich, open bogs. 
Huckleberry, Early Low 
Dainty blossoms, beautiful foliage, delicious fruit. 
Excellent for poor, shady slope. Grows best in 
poor, sandy soil.
