; Cranberry Bush; Viburnum opulus 
The parent of the Common Snowball, and like it in habit 
of growth, but the white flowers are in flat clusters in May. 
The center flowers, which produce the berries, are small, with 
an outer ring of showy flowers like the individual flowers of 
the Snowball. The bright scarlet, cranberry-like fruits color in 
late July or early August, remaining well into winter when not 
easten by the birds. Endures partial shade; attains 8 to 12 ft.; 
prune, if necessary, after blooming.

Crape Myrtle; Lagerstroemia indica 
Its clusters of flowers with petals crinkled like crape are 
borne in profusion throughout latter summer. As important in 
the south as Lilacs in the north. It may be grown here if 
mounded with soil in winter, the same as everblooming roses. 
If the top winter injures, cut it back to sound wood and the 
new growth will bloom the same summer. 
In this part of the country Crape Myrtle is rather difficult to 
transplant. Often it remains alive but does not break into 
growth for a long time. Soil banked about it, a flower pot or 
pail inverted over the plant, often causes more rapid budding, 
due to moisture about the tops. In the nursery we have little 
trouble with Crape Myrtle, due to usual nursery care, but can- 
not assure growth. Watermelon Red and Lavender.

Currant, Golden; Clove Bush; Ribes odoratum 
An old time favorite for its clove-like fragrance. In latter 
April, after Forsythias have finished blooming, it is almost cov- 
ered with clusters of small tubular golden flowers, as the leaves 
are unfolding. Attains a height of 4 to 5 ft.; succeeds in sun 
or partial shade; prune after blooming.

In late August and September, when few other shrubs are 
blooming, this one is very showy, its branches somewhat arched 
with their load of dooping clusters of rosy-purple flowers near- 
ly % in. long, like small peas. Its delicate textured foliage 
consists of 3 leaflets. Grows 3 to 4 ft. high. In this section 
usually freezes back in winter and should be pruned to the 
ground each spring. It will bloom that same year.

Dogwood, Bailey’s; Cornus Baileyi 
After the leaves have fallen this shrub lights up the shrub- 
bery border with its bright red branches, more intense with the 
approach of winter. Flat clusters of small fuzzy, creamy- 
white flowers in spring; grows 6 to 10 ft. high. Pruning to 
the ground early each spring will reduce the height and give 
more young branches which are of better color. Succeeds in 
well drained soil, in sun or partial shade.

Small white flowers in large flat clusters in late May and 
June, followed by black berries, but grown for its intense yel- 
low leaves, the color well retained during summer if planted in 
full sun and kept growing freely. Should be pruned back of- 
ten in early spring to maintain a dense growth of new wood.

Quince, Flowering or Japan 
Euonymus alata compacta; Dwarf Winged Euonymus 
An unusual shrub with 2 or 4 very thin, blade-like wings on 
the branches. Spreading habit, growing about 3 to 4 feet high. 
Tiny yellowish flowers, followed by orange-red fruits in autumn; 
surpassed in fall beauty by few if any shrubs, with its tones of 
scarlet, crimson and rose. 
Compacta is more dwarf and compact than the ordinary 
Euonymus alata.

Forsythia; Golden Bell 
One of the first shrubs to let us know spring is here, with 
its abundance of four-petaled, somewhat bell-shaped golden 
flowers, swinging in small clnsters al! along the leafless branch- 
es in March, sometimes during mild February days, occasionally 
extending into April. Very free from insects and diseases. The 
leaves remain green till late fall. Prune soon after blooming, 
to keep the bush compact and the height desired. Suitable for 
partial but not dense shade; of easy culture in any well drained 
garden soil. 
Forsythia pr:mulina; Primrose Forsythia. 
blooming a little later than spectabilis. 
Forsythia spectabilis. One of the best upright Forsythias; 
pure, rich yellow flowers, sometimes 1% in. across; better color 
and blooms more freely than most varieties.

Fringe, White; Chionanthus virginica 
Its Greek name meaning “‘snow flower’’ is very appropriate. 
The drooping clusters 4-6 in. long of snow-white flowers with 
4 fringe-like petals about 1 in. long scent the whole garden in 
early May before the leaves are fully developed. Autumn foli- 
age yellowish. Blooms when quite small. A background of 
evergreens or shrubs will intensify the effect of the snow-white 
flowers swaying in the slightest breeze. Succeeds in sun or par- 
tial shade.
