Viburnum Tomentosum Plicatum Trained Against a Shady Wall 
SULEUR INJURES VIBURNUMS 
A light application of dusting sulfur to the foliage of Viburnum 
Carlesi will cause black spots to develop on the leaves. The leaves 
will drop within a few days after the spotting appears. Plants of this 
variety which may be growing near a Rose garden are often so severely 
injured that they may be defoliated by drifting sulfur dust intended for 
the control of black spot on Roses. Sprays of wettable sulfur will cause 
the same type of injury. 
It is suggested that whenever a fungicide is necessary for the con- 
trol of leaf spot on all knds of Viburnums, copper rather than sulfur 
should be applied as a control measure. Care should always be taken 
not to let sulfur dust or sulfur spray intended for other plants drift 
onto Viburnums. 
Viburnum Tomentosum

[166] 
VITEX - Chaste Tree 
Macrophylla Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
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, foliage and lilac flowers are very unusual. 
Viburnum - Snowball 
Burkwoodi (New English Hybrid) 
Bushy plants, 3-4 ft., B&B Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $45.00 
Bare root, 2-3 ft. Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Bare root, 18-24 in. Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Improved Carlesi. Waxy blush-white and delicately fragrant, the 
flowers of this naw 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 6 feet high and 4 to 5 feet in diameter. 
It likes a well drained, sunny place, with plenty of moisture. 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, shiny dark green all summer. 
Carlesi Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
Waxy white, deliciously fragrant flowers 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. 
Dilatatum Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
This fine Viburnum grows to a height of about 7 or 8 feet. The many 
valuable characteristics of this plqnt place it near the top of the list of 
Viburnums. It is of moderate growth and neat compact habit, bearing 
5-inch clusters of white flowers in early June. In the fall it has few 
equals in adding color to the garden with its heavy, large clusters 
of scarlet berries. Does especially well in shade. The plants we ship 
are about 3 feet tall. 
Opulus Nanum (The Hedge Viburnum) 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00 
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. (See page 135.) 
Opulus Xanthocarpum (Apricot-Fruited Cranberry Bush) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This makes a handsome bush 5 to 7 feet high. It is particularly attrac- 
tive from July to December after when its beautiful blossoms are re- 
placed by immense clusters of 1/-inch apricot-yellow fruits. The clus- 
ters of berreis are many and heavy, and create a beautiful show against 
the rich green foliage. The heavily fruited branches may be cut for 
indoor decoration. They combine stunningly with Gladioli, Dahlias, or 
Chrysanthemums. The clusters of fruits retain their beautiful apricot- 
yellow tint for six weeks or more. Easily grown, hardy as an oak. May 
be planted in fall or spring. The plants we ship are about 3 feet tall. 
‘Tomentosum Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
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 dazz!ing white flowers, with spidery sunburst cen- 
ters, resembling a fall of snow. Ultimate height 8 feet. 
Tomentosum plicatum Each $1.50, Three $4.00, 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.
