Improved Carlesi. Waxy blush-white and delicately fragrant, the 
flowers of this new 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, the one Viburnum above all others that should be grown, 
is Viburnum Burkwoodi. Foliage shiny dark green all summer. 

Carlesi Each $5.00, Three $13.00, Doz. $50.00 
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. 
Tomentosum Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
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 dazzling white flowers, with spidery sunburst cen- 
ters, resembling a fall of snow. Ultimate height 8 feet. 
Tomentosum plicatum Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
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. 
Opuius Xanthocarpum (Apricot-Fruited Cranberry Bush) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
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 /-inch apricot-yellow fruits. The clus- 
ters of berries 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.

very closely. It does not grow quite as tall, only 20 to 25 feet, but pro- 
duces twice the amount of flowers and fruit. The branches literally bend 
under the brilliant loads of orange fruits. This small tree can be grown 
in every small garden without: damaging nearby flowers. Transplants 
readily. We offer nice young trees about 6 feet tall. 
SPIRAEA 
A very important family of shrubs. Most Spiraeas are sun loving, but 
withstand much abuse in location and soil conditions, and are a source of 
joy and satisfaction.

Similar in growth and habit to the Anthony Waterer Spirea. The 
flowers of this new variety are much better and richer crimson-red. 
No one will ever again plant the old Anthony Waterer once they have 
seen this fine improvement. Ultimate height about 30 to 36 inches. 
TAMARIX - Tamarisk 
Tamarix should be cut back to 6 or 8 inches when transplanted. If this 
is not done, success is doubtful. 
Summer Glow Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
There is a lacy loveliness and charm about this lovely shrub not found 
in any others. The beautiful silvery blue-green foliage is like a veil. A 
sharp and delightful contrast is made by the airy wine-red flower spikes 
which appear on top of the delightful foliage all summer long. The 
flowers and foliage are lovely for cutting. This shrub is also excellent 
for seashore or lakeshore gardens, being very tolerant to salt air and 
wind. The plants we send out will bloom the first year. Ultimate height 
about 8 feet. Can be pruned and kept to 5 or 6 feet if desired.

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. 
Choice Hybrid Lilac Species 
THE DAPHNE LILAC 
Microphylla Superba Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
A remarkably lovely shrub, deliciously fragrant, introduced from China. 
Graceful, slender stems; pinkish red buds opening to pale pink, loose 
panicles of small individual florets. The flowers produce a two-tone 
effect that is very pleasing and novel. The main truss is on top of 
each stem and smaller trusses are set down the branches, so that the 
entire plant forms one !arge bouquet. The foliage is very pretty, about 
one inch long and three-fourths inch wide. Blooms again in the fall. 
The fragrance of this Lilac is something never to be forgotten. More 
like that of Daphne and Gardenia blended than the Lilac fragrance we 
are familiar with. 
HYBRID HUNGARIAN LILAC 
Henri Lutece Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.09 
A hybrid between S. villosa and S. Josikea, with a round, shapely bush 
about midway in size between the two parents. The blooms are enor- 
mous panicles, plumelike in appearance, held erect and of beautiful 
light violet in color. Has the heavy foliage of Josikea. A fine orna- 
mental shrub coming into bloom about a week after the French Lilacs, 
This variety deserves a place in all Lilac plantings. One who has 
never seen one of these hybrid Lilacs cannot imagine how beautiful 
they are and how different from other Lilacs. 
THE PINK PEARL LILAC 
Sweginzowi Abida Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This new Hybrid Lilac was originated by Mr. Lemoine, of Nancy, 
France, who without a doubt has created the world’s finest Lilacs, 
Peonies, and many other things. This Lilac is not a so-called French 
Hybrid, but a cross between S. Sweginzowi Superba and S. Wilsoni. 
At the end of May it produces a profusion of many-branched pan- 
icles of the most elegant character; the large, long-tubed flowers 
with reflexed lobes are of a delicate pale pink passing to white and 
are very sweet scented. The flowers remind one of large trusses of 
Pink pearls. Hardy anywhere.
