Decorative Vines, Azaleas, Flowering Shrubs and He 
FLOWERING SHRUBS 
In the planting of the home grounds nothing will give more wide variation nor more 
permanent beauty than well selected shrubs suitable for the location they are to occupy. 
By careful study, one may have beauty of foliage, flowers, or fruit practically the year 
round, lending an interest to one’s planting which cannot be gained by any other class 
of plants. 
ALMOND, FLOWERING (Prunus glandulosa). 
A showy spring flowering shrub of medium 
growth. The upright branches are covered with 
very double small flowers which bloom before 
the foliage appears. 
Almond, Dark Pink Flowering. Rather dwarf 
growing, very beautiful; flowers are soft pink. 
Almond, Double White Flowering. Stronger 
growing than the pink variety; flowers pure 
white. 
ALTHEA (Hibiscus syriacus). One of the most 
satisfactory shrubs for our dry, hot climate. 
Blooms throughout the summer, and is most 
accommodating about soil or location. Fur- 
nished in following colors: Pink, Purple, Red, 
White. 
BARBERRY, JAPANESE (Berberis thunbergi). 
A low growing, hardy shrub with small leaves 
which turn bronzy-yellow and red in fall. The 
flowers are small pale yellow, followed by 
scarlet fruits. 
BUDDLEIA ILE DE FRANCE (Improved Butter- 
fly Bush). A new, improved form of the old 
favorite. Long, graceful spikes of dark violet- 
purple give color from May until frost. It is 
very fine as a cut flower. 
CALYCANTHUS OR SWEETSHRUB (Calycan- 
thus floridus). A low growing shrub with sweet 
scented flowers and aromatic wood. Should be 
planted in partial shade. 
CRAPE MYRTLE (Lagerstroemia indica). The 
most showy and doubtless the one most satis- 
factory plants for the South. Withstands drouth 
well and blooms all summer. The soft, fluffy 
flowers of crinkled, crepy petals, are borne in 
dense heads on erect stems. 
Crape Myrtle, Pink. Flowers bright, clear 
pink of La France rose.

purple.

Crape Myrtle, White. Not quite so hardy as 
other soris. Flowers white with soft tinge of 
pink. 
CYDONIA JAPONICA (Flowering Quince). 
One of the most desirable early flowering 
shrubs grown, because of its brilliant orange- 
scarlet flowers which are produced in iate 
winter and early spring before the shrub puts 
out foliage. Yellow fruits produced in autumn. 
DEUTZIA-CRENATA. A very hardy shrub 
with luxuriant foliage and a profusion of dou- 
ble white flowers tinged with rose produced 
in late June on long racemes. 
FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell). Somehow the For- 
sythia tells us spring is here more than any 
other of the blooming shrubs, for the delicate 
yellow flowers definitely belong to that season 
and no other. They thrive in almost any soil. 
HYDRANGEA, HILLS OF SNOW (Hydrangea 
arborescens grandiflora). Has the appearance 
of a low-growing Snowball. Large clusters of 
white flowers during the summer. Should be 
protected from hot sun.

lata grandiflora). Immense panicles of pure 
white flowers in June and July, lasting several 
weeks. This is considered one of the best shrubs 
for lawn planting. Should be protected from 
hot sun.

fragrance and beauty. They are among the 
hardiest of our shrubs and will thrive in a wide 
range of soils and under varied conditions.

cild-fashioned Lilac with light purple, very fra- 
grant flowers. 
Lilac, Common White (Syringa vulgaris alba).

Lilac. Flowers pure white and delicately tra- 
grant.

The old time Sweet Mockorange. The long 
branches are covered with a profusion of single, 
pure white flowers with centers of golden yel- 
low stamens. Exceedingly fragrant. 
Mockorange, Virginal. One of the most pop- 
ular of the named varieties. Flowers are large, 
semi-double, very fragrant, pure white, and 
exceedingly beautiful. A semi-dwarf grower of 
compact habit and long blooming season. 
SNOWBALL, COMMON (Viburnum opulus 
sterile). An old favoriate. Rather tall growing; 
foliage large and coarse; showy flowers in 
large, white globular heads, making a complete 
“snowball.’’ Does best in cool, shaded places. 
SPIREA (Spiraea). A class of shrubs varying 
so much in character of growth and type of 
bloom that a good collection of varieties will 
insure bloom throughout most of the spring 
and early summer. They do best in rich, moist 
soils and respond to good cultivation. 
Spirea, Anthony Waterer (Spiraea bumalda,
