PHILADELPHUS Lemoinei, Glacier 
This hybrid is a strong, erect grower of 
medium height. The clusters of double 
white flowers, set in panicles, have the 
appearance of one enormous flower. 
A very choice variety. 
P. virginalis 
Medium height and irregular growth, but 
rated by many as the finest of all Mock- 
Oranges. The first burst of bloom comes 
in June when the large, semi-double, pure 
white flowers fairly weigh the branches 
down. The tips of the new shoots bear 
flowers continuously throughout the sum- 
mer. A truly remarkable variety and no 
doubt one of the best. See color picture 
on page 21. 
PHYSOCARPUS opulifolius Ninebark 
Vigorous, wide-spreading, tall shrub that 
should be given plenty of room in the 
shrub border. Its attractive foliage makes 
it adapted for screen purposes. Grows 
anywhere, enduring even partial shade. 
P. opulifolius aureus Golden Ninebark 
Similar to the preceding variety, but at 
first when the leaves appear they are 
bright yellow, later changing to golden 
yellow. 
P. opulifolius nana Dwarf Ninebark 
Similar to opulifolius except that it grows 
only about 4 feet tall. 
PRUNUS glandulosa 
Double Pink Almond 
One of the most charming early-flowering 
shrubs, producing very double, rose-col- 
cored flowers in great profusion in the 
a spring. Maximum height, about 6 
eet. 
P. glandulosa sinensis 
Double White Almond 
Same as the preceding variety except that 
it has beautiful double white flowers. 
P. maritima Beach Plum 
A decumbent thorny shrub well adapted 
to sandy exposed locations. Dainty white 
flowers in April followed by showy edible 
purple fruits from which an excellent 
preserve may be made. 
P. tomentosa F Nanking Cherry 
Compact, treelike bush with upright 
branches. In the early spring it is cov- 
ered with tiny pink buds which turn 
white after they open. The miniature 
red cherries appearing in late summer 
are soon removed by the birds. A very 
neat shrub that should be more popular. 
P. triloba Flowering Plum 
Small, shrubby tree covered with small, 
double, bright pink flowers before the 
leaves appear. This is an old-fashioned 
favorite that will brighten up any shrub 
planting. 

RHODOTYPOS kerrioides Jetbead 
Of medium height, with single white 
flowers followed by shiny black fruit. 
A graceful shrub with handsome bright 
green foliage that grows well in semi- 
shade. Maximum height, 6 feet. 
RHUS canadensis Fragrant Sumac 
A spreading shrub about 3 feet tall. 
Conspicuous yellow flowers appear in 
early spring. The thick, fragrant foliage 
turns dark crimson in autumn. A good 
cover-plant for dry, rocky slopes. 
R. cotinus 
See Cotinus coggygria. 
ROSA Hugonis Hugonis Rose 
Extremely graceful, arching shrub 5 to 
6 feet tall. Dainty, refined foliage that 
is practically hidden in May by a profu- 
sion of soft yellow, single, saucer-like 
flowers of delicate fragrance. Makes a 
hardy, handsome addition to any shrub 
border. 
R. rugosa Rugosa Rose 
A sturdy, upright, medium-sized shrub 
with bristly branches and clean, glossy 
green, wrinkled foliage. The large, single, 
fragrant, red flowers of a soft, silky 
crepe-paper texture appear in May and 
continue until September. Its brilliant 
fall colors and bright red fruits make this 
variety attractive at all seasons. Abso- 
lutely hardy. 
R. rugosa alba White Rugosa Rose 
Same as the preceding variety except that 
it has large, white flowers. Both varieties 
grow exceptionally well when planted at 
the seashore. 
RUBUS odoratus Flowering Raspberry 
A vigorous-growing shrub up to 6 feet, 
that does well in the shade. Large, neat 
foliage and clusters of showy rose-purple 
flowers. Fine for planting in shady 
woods. 
SALIX caprea Pussy Willow 
This familiar plant is the harbinger of 
spring. Preferring moist soil will grow 
to be 12 to 20 feet tall. 

Rosa Hugonis 
[27] 

Spirea Anthony Waterer 
SPIRAEA arguta Garland Spirea 
The most free-flowering and showy of the 
early-blooming Spireas. Graceful shrub 
of medium height, with feathery foliage. 
Early in May a profusion of dainty white 
flowers makes this a most charming sight. 
S. Bumalda Bumalda Spirea 
A low shrub rarely over 2 feet tall. The 
same general character and habit as 
Anthony Waterer except that the flowers 
are lighter pink. 
S$. Bumalda, Anthony Waterer 
Anthony Waterer Spirea 
This popular Spirea is of dwarf growth. 
In July bright crimson flowers in flat 
heads appear on upright stems. Because 
of its low growth it works in well at the 
house foundation or foreground of the 
shrub border. Prefers a moist soil and 
sunny location. If the faded flower heads 
are clipped, the plant will bloom freely. 
S. Bumalda Froebeli Frobel Spirea 
Similar to the above, but grows taller 
and is less compact. The bright crimson 
flowers Jast the entire season. 
S. prunifolia Bridal Wreath 
This beautiful, well-known Spirea has 
been neglected for the more popular Van 
Houttei. Its graceful form and double 
white flowers make it deserving of more 
use. Usually not over 8 feet tall, with 
neat, dark green foliage that turns orange 
in the autumn. 
S. Thunbergi Thunberg’s Spirea 
Early, free-flowering, graceful shrub with 
feathery foliage on upright’ branches. 
Similar to Arguta, but not so tall. Its 
low growth, neat foliage, and white flow- 
ers make it good for house foundation 
plantings. 
S. trichocarpa Korean Spirea 
A recently introduced, tall, broad shrub 
similar to Van Houttei. Its white flowers 
are larger and appear a few weeks later. 
Very hardy and well adapted to the shrub 
border because of habit of growth and 
bloom. 
S. Vanhouttei Van Houtte Spirea 
This beautiful shrub deserves its popu- 
larity, for it is one of the finest Spireas 
for massing or specimens. Its tall, slen- 
der branches arch gracefully under a load 
of white flowers, the last of May.
