VIBURNUM - Snowball 
Viburnums comprise a very large, endless family, the despair of anyone 
who is trying to differentiate between the species. We list but a few of the 
most floriferous and best suited for the average small garden where a lot 
of flowers is first consideration. 
Burkwoodi (New English Introduction) 
Each $3.50, Three $10.50, Doz. $32.00 
Improved Carlesi. Waxy blush-white and deliciously fragrant, the flow- 
ers 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 pervade 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 all others that should be grown, is Viburnum Burk- 
woodi. Foliage brilliant in autumn. 
Carlesi Each $3.50, Three $10.50, Doz. $32.00 
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 $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.50 
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 become perfect mosaics of wheel-like 
clusters ringed with dazzling white flowers, with spidery sunburst cen- 
ters, resembling a fall of snow still remaining on the horizontal branches. 
Ultimate height 8 feet. 
Tomentosum plicatum Each $1.50, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
The Japanese Snowball has its pure white flowers arranged in a perfectly 
round ball 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 OPULUS NANA 
The Hedge Viburnum 
A dwarf, stubby plant never over two feet high, particularly well adapted 
for edgings and hedges in wet or heavy clay ground where it is difficult 
for other plants to thrive. Does well in light shade. It is extremely hardy. 
Can be clipped or left natural as desired. In either case it grows into a 
fine compact and low hedge which requires no care. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25, 100 $50.00 
VITEX - Chaste Tree 
Macrophylla Each $1.00, Three $2.85, Doz. $10.00 
A graceful shrub with attractive spikes of lovely lavender-blue flowers. 
Blooms profusely from July until fall and grows more than ten 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 as well as the lilac flowers are 
very unusual. 
Macrophylla, Pale Pink Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.50 
A charming blush-white form of the above; very scarce.
