DAPHNE mezereum February Daphne 
Medium dwarf growth up to 4 feet. The upright branches 
are closely set with fragrant, rosy purple flowers long before 
the leaves appear, sometimes as early as February. The flow- 
ers are followed by scarlet fruits, which make it a most at- 
tractive shrub. 
DEUTZIA gracilis Slender Deutzia 
Popular, compact, dwarf shrub not over 3 feet tall. Graceful 
fountain-like bush covered in May with a profusion of white 
flowers. Useful in foundations and foregrounds of shrub 
borders. 
D. Lemoinei Lemoine Deutzia 
A hybrid of Gracilis, growing more vigorous, a little taller, 
and with showier white flowers. Grows in almost any soil 
but prefers a sunny location. 
D. scabra, Pride of Rochester 
Vigorous-growing shrub to 6 feet tall. Double white flowers, 
tinged with pink, on upright branches. 
DESMODIUM penduliflorum Sweet Pea Shrub 
Rosy purple or reddish pea-like flowers are borne on graceful 
pendulous branches in late summer. Tall growing; free 
bloomer. 
ENKIANTHUS campanulatus Red-Vein Enkianthus 
Very ornamental, tall-growing variety with drooping racemes 
of small, yellowish or pale orange flowers, which hang in 

clusters during May. Gorgeous, 
brilliant red foliage in. the 
autumn. Very desirable for 
specimens and grows best in an 
acid or sour soil. 
EVONYMUS alatus 
Winged Euonymus 
Bushy, compact, upright plant 
with curious corky bark that 
spreads out in flat wings. No 
doubt one of the most conspicu- 
ous varieties in the autumn, 
with its brilliant scarlet foliage 
and fruits. Very useful as a 
tall plant in the shrub border 
and endures partial shade. 
E. alatus compacta 
Dwarf Winged Euonymus 
A choice compact shrub sim- 
ilar to the preceding variety, 
but slower growing and much 
more dwarf. The Arnold Arbor- 
etum in Boston considers this 
the outstanding shrub for fall 
color. Indifferent to soil, shade, 
and city conditions. Makes a 
most unusual and_ attractive 
hedge. 

Euonymus yedoensis Yeddo Euonymus 
Large, upright shrub, remarkable for its bril- 
liant red foliage and pink fruits in fall. 
EXOCHORDA grandiflora Pearl-Bush 
Tall, bushy plant. Very showy in May, with 
fairly large clusters of pure white flowers. 
Makes a fine specimen or group in the shrub 
border. 
FORSYTHIA intermedia Golden-Bell 
One of the earliest shrubs to bloom. A beauti- 
ful sight when its tall arching branches are 
studded with a profusion of bright yellow flow- 
ers. Should be given plenty of room to develop, 
as shearing spoils its natural beauty. 
F. intermedia spectabilis Showy Golden-Bell 
Regarded by many as the finest. Similar to the 
preceding variety but its larger, richer yellow 
flowers are produced more profusely. 
F. suspensa Weeping Forsythia 
A rampant, rambling variety with some of its 
branches decidedly pendulous. Bright yellow 
flowers that form arches of gold. At its best 
when permitted to ramble over banks or stone 
walls. 
F. suspensa Fortunei Fortune’s Forsythia 
Tall, upright, fountain-like habit of growth. 
Valuable for its yellow flowers in spring and 
yellowish bark in winter. 
HAMAMELIS vernalis Vernal Witch-Hazel 
A spreading, compact shrub of medium height, 
usually about 6 feet tall. Interesting because 
of its unusual time of bloom. Any warm day 
between January and March one may see its 
small yellow flowers in bloom. A truly winter- 
blooming shrub. 
H. virginiana Witch-Hazel 
Tall shrub producing its odd yellow blooms 
after the leaves have fallen in November. Pre- 
fers a moist soil.

gestions and estimates. We shall be glad

Euonymus alatus compacta 
HIBISCUS syriacus Rose of Sharon or Althea 
Native of China. Upright, compact, broad 
shrub sometimes growing in a tree form 10 to 
12 feet tall. The large, bell-shaped flowers are 
produced in August—a time when few other 
shrubs are in bloom. Indifferent to soil condi- 
tions but likes a sunny location. We offer the 
following colors: Double Pink, Red, White and 
Blue. 
HYDRANGEA arborescens grandiflora 
Hills-of-Snow 
An upright shrub 3 to 5 feet tall. Pure white 
clusters of flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter 
are produced in June and July when there is 
a scarcity of shrub bloom. Prefers a moist soil 
and endures partial shade. Should be severely 
pruned early each spring. Good for the border 
foreground or house foundation. 

H. paniculata grandiflora Peegee Hydrangea 
The old-fashioned variety that really needs no 
description. Its familiar large heads of white 
flowers in late summer turn bright pink in the 
fall. We grow this in excellent tree-shaped 
plants for specimens, as well as in bush form 
for the shrub border. 
HYPERICUM densiflorum St. Johns-W ort 
One of the best Hypericums for New England. 
Medium-sized shrub up to 6 feet, bearing a 
profusion of bright yellow flowers in midsum- 
mer. Will thrive in a sandy soil if kept moist, 
and blooms last longer in partial shade. 
ILEX verticillata Winterberry 
This very ornamental. upright shrub, 6 to 8 
feet tall, belongs to the holly family. In Oc- 
tober bright red berries appear which last all 
winter and are attractive to the eye as well 
as to the birds. Prefers a shaded, moist lo- 
cation. 
I. polycarpa 
This variety fruits more abundantly than the 
above and grows more upright; otherwise has 
the same characteristics. 
KOLKWITZIA amabilis Beauty-Bush 
One of the finest of the newer shrubs, produc- 
ing long sprays of graceful foliage. Flowers 
are delicate pink, similar in shape to those 
of the weigela, but much smaller. Although 
a rapid grower, it does not bloom profusely 
until it becomes thoroughly established.
