HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS 
ALMOND, Pink. An early flowering 
shrub with beautiful roselike flow- 
ers, which are double and cover 
the shrub. 
ALTHEA Rosea. This old favorite is 
of never-failing beauty and use- 
fulness, for it blooms in late Au- 
gust when few other flowers are 
available. 
BARBERRY, Red-Leaved. Easily 
grown and gives best results in 
the sun as the sun brings out the 
color of the foliage. Bright red 
berries hang on the twigs all 
winter. 
BARBERRY, Thunbergi. Green- 
leaved. One of the most popular 
shrubs for border and foundation 
planting. Leaves turn to brilliant 
shades in the fall, with red ber- 
ries in the winter. 
FORSYTHIA (Golden Beli). Upright grower, with clusters of golden 
yellow blossoms on arched branches. 
HONEYSUCKLE, Zabel’s. We have searched for years for. a true red 
Honeysuckle. We have this in Zabel’s. These Honeysuckles have 
bloomed on our place now for two seasons and we can assure our 
customers that it is a true red (not pink) Honeysuckle. 
HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY. A _ large growing shrub which very much 
resembles the bush of the Snowball. 
HYDRANGEA A. G. (Hills of Snow). This is the early flowering Hy- 
drangea. Comes into bloom in July and continues until frost. Large, 
flat, white blooms. Does well in the shade. 
HYDRANGEA P. G. The large fall-blooming Hydrangea. Great panicles 
of bloom often 12 inches tong by 8 inches in diameter come into full 
development in September. 

Spirea Froebeli 
LILAC, French. The most gorgeous flowers of all large blooming shrubs. 
MOCK ORANGE (Philadelphus, Virginal) See picture. Semi-double. 
White. Everblooming. We regard it the most valuable acquisition to 
the flower garden of receent years.

April. Grows about 4 feet tall.

in early spring. 
HARDY HEDGES 
BARBERRY, Green. Too well known to require any comment. In fall its 
colored foliage and red berries cheer the boundaries of millions of 
gardens and homes. 
ELM, Chinese. We know of no other plant that will produce a permanent 
hedge as quickly as Chinese Elm. 
LILAC, Persian. Sometimes called Chinese Lilac. It grows to a height of 
106 to 12 feet. Various shades of lavender and purple blossoms literally 
cover the compact plants in April and May. This Lilac does not 
sprout away from the plant—the objection to the old-fashioned Lilac. 
Also makes a beautiful sheared hedge. See picture. 
POPLAR, Lombardy. A unique and beautiful living green wall can be 
created by planting Lombardy Poplars one foot apart, and cutting 
the tops off straight like a hedge. Makes a solid wall through which 
no animal can crawl. , 
PRIVET, Amur River. This plant has been used for hedges to a tremen- 
dous extent in the past few years and has given general satisfaction. 
Perfectly hardy 
PRIVET, Thompson’s. This very hardy Privet is an improved variety of 
the Hardy Russian Privet having rich, glossy green leaves on an un- 
usually bushy plant. It is becoming more popular for hedge planting 
each yeor. Almost evergreen.
