W eigela rosea 

Viburnum Carlesi May-Flowering Viburnum 
A real garden aristocrat. Compact shrub 
of medium height, with pretty pink and 
white flowers in a flat cluster 3 inches 
across. The individual blooms, which ap- 
pear in April, resemble the arbutus in 
form, color, and exquisite fragrance. No 
doubt the choicest of the Viburnums. 
V. cassinoides Withe-Rod 
Tall, upright shrub with attractive, thick 
dull green foliage and white flowers in 
June. At its best in the autumn when the 
foliage turns rich shades of purple and red. 
The fruits first appear green, then turn 
pink, and finally blue-black. 
V. dentatum Arrow-W ood 
Likes a moist soil and endures partial 
shade. A hardy native of New England 
with white flowers in May and June, fol- 
lowed in October by shiny blue-black ber- 
ries. This variety is often the answer to 
difficult planting situations. 
V. lantana W ayfaring-Tree 
Not really a tree, but a vigorous, tall- grow- 
ing shrub, with soft, heavy leaves. The 
large clusters of white flowers in May are 
followed by red berries, which turn black 
ore ripen. Prefers a dry, limestone 
soil. 
V. lentago Nanny-Berry 
Vigorous, tall-growing shrub with fragrant, 
creamy white flowers in May. The bluish 
black fruits remain until spring. 
V. opulus European Cranberry-Bush 
In the early fall its brilliant scarlet fruits, 
hanging in large clusters, are most at- 
tractive. A shrub growing 8 to 10 feet tall. 
V. opulus nanum Dwarf Viburnum 
A very dwarf, compact, round-headed 
shrub, not over 2 feet tall. Very useful as 
a low hedge or formal border. 
Viburnum cpulus sterile Common Snowball 
This old-fashioned shrub with its snowball- 
shaped clusters of white flowers is attractive 
in May. Having sterile flowers, it, of course, 
has no fruits. Chiefly valued for its blooms. 
V. tomentosum Single Japanese Snowball 
When in flower this is no doubt one of the 
most beautiful Viburnums. Large, flat white 
blooms on horizontal branches in June. Very 
showy and picturesque. Very fine, dark green 
foliage; grows about 8 feet tall. 
tomentosum plicatum 
Double Japanese Snowball 
Same general characteristics as the preceding 
variety, except that the flowers are double, 
forming a pure white round ball 3 to 4 inches 
across. Handsome variety that needs a little 
protection until established. 
WEIGELA candida Snow Weigela 
Popular, showy-flowering shrub growing 6 
to 8 feet tall. In late May the branches are 
bent beneath an abundance of trumpet- 
shaped white flowers. Should not be planted 
in exposed positions. 
W., Eva Rathke 
A remarkably free bloomer. Rich dark red- 
dish carmine flowers produced in early June, 
continuing more or less the entire summer. 
Vigorous, upright shrub to 6 feet. 
W. rosea Pink Weigela 
This is an old favorite. Medium to tall- 
erowing shrub, covered in June with a pro- 
fusion of rose-colored flowers. Very showy 
for the shrub border. 
W. rosea variegata Variegated Weigela 
A rather dwarf sort, with interesting green 
and white bordered leaves. The flowers vary 
from white to pink. Fine for those who like 
contrasting foliage. 
ZANTHORHIZA apiifolia Y ellow-Root 
A low-growing shrub which makes a splendid 
ground cover. Will grow anywhere, but pre- 
fers a moist, shady location. The plum- 
colored flowers in April are not conspicuous, 
but in the fall the foliage turns brilliant 
yellow and is both showy and handsome.
