DAPHNE mezereum 
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 flowers are followed by scarlet 
fruits, which make it a most attractive shrub. 
DESMODIUM penduliflorum 
Rosy purple or reddish pealike flowers are borne on graceful pendulous 
branches in late summer. Tall growing; free bloomer. 
DEUTZIA gracilis 
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 
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.

ENKIANTHUS campanulatus 
Red-Vein Enkianthus 
Very ornamental, tall-growing variety 
with drooping racemes of small, yellow- 
ish 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. 
EUONYMUS alatus Winged Euonymus 
Bushy, compact, upright plant with curi- 
ous corky bark that spreads out in flat 
wings. No doubt one of the most con- 
spicuous 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 
ee Dwarf Winged Euonymus 
A choice compact shrub similar to the 
preceding variety, but slower growing 
and much more dwarf. The Arnold 
Arboretum in Boston considers this the 
outstanding shrub for fall color. Indif- 
ferent to soil, shade, and city conditions. 
Makes a most unusual and _ attractive 
hedge. 
E. bungeanus Winterberry Euonymus 
A large shrub or small tree with broad 
spreading branches growing 15 feet tall. 
Yellow autumn foliage and orange fruits 
in September. 
E. europaeus European Euonymus

feet. Red autumn foliage with pink fruits 
which break open in the manner of the 
Bittersweet and display red seeds within. 
E. yedoensis Yeddo Euonymus

brilliant red foliage and pink fruits in 
fall. 
February Daphne 
Sweet Pea Shrub 
Slender Deutzia 
Lemoine Deutzia 
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 
beautiful sight when its tall arching 
branches are studded with a profusion of 
bright yellow flowers. 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. ovata Early Forsythia 
Introduced from Korea in 1917. The ear- 
liest of all Forsythias to bloom and the 
hardiest. 
F. primulina Primrose Forsythia 
This variety originated in the Arnold 
Arboretum and has the best pale yellow 
flowers of any Forsythia. 
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. Interest- 
ing because of its unusual time of bloom. 
Any warm day between January and 
March one may see its small yellow flow- 
ers 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. Prefers a moist soil.

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 conditions but 
likes a sunny location. We offer the fol- 
lowing 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 fore- 
ground 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. 
HYPERIUM densiflorum Sr. Johns-Wort 
One of the best Hypericums for New 
England. Medium-sized shrub up to 6 
feet, bearing a profusion of bright yellow 
flowers in midsummer. 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 October bright red berries appear 
which last all winter and are attractive 
to the eye as well as to the birds. Prefers 
a shaded, moist location. 
I. polycarpa 
This variety fruits more abundantly than 
the above and grows more upright; other- 
wise has the same characteristics. 
KOLKWITZIA amabilis Beauty-Bush 
One of the finest of the newer shrubs, 
producing 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.
