VIBURNUM americanum 
r 

Viburnum Carlesi 
VACCINIUM corymbosum Highbush Blueberry 
In addition to its delicious edible berries, it pos- 
sesses remarkable landscape value. A bushy 
shrub, with glossy green foliage turning brilliant 
red in autumn. Rather exacting in its soil re- 
quirements, preferring a moist, acid soil and 
partial shade. One of the best shrubs for fall 
color. 
American Cranberry 
Tall, native shrub with an open, spreading habit. 
Inconspicuous flowers followed by very orna- 
mental red berries. The berries do not attract 
the birds, so they remain on the bush all winter. 
The fall foliage is especially brilliant.

VIBURNUM Carlesi 
May-Flowering Viburnum 
A real garden aristocrat. Compact 
shrub of medium height, with pretty 
pink and white flowers in a flat clus- 
ter 3 inches across. The individual 
blooms, which appear in April, re- 
semble the Arbutus in form, color, 
and exquisite fragrance. No doubt 
the choicest of the Viburnums. 
Arrow-W ood 
Likes a moist soil and endures par- 
tial shade. A hardy native of New 
England with white flowers in May 
and June, followed in October by 
shiny blue-black berries. This va- 
riety is often the answer to difficult 
planting situations. 
V. fragrans 
Fragrant Viburnum 
Similar to Carlesi but 
blooms much earlier and 
is a deeper shade of 
pink. 
V. lantana 
W ayfaring-Tree 
Not really a tree, but a 
vigorous, tall-growing 
shrub, with soft, heavy 
leaves. The large clus- 
ters of white flowers in 
May are followed by red 
berries, which turn black 
as they ripen. Prefers a 
dry, limestone soil. 
V. lentago Nanny-Berry 
Vigorous, tall-growing 
shrub with fragrant, 
creamy white flowers in 
May. The bluish black 
fruits remain until 
spring. 
V. opulus Furopean 
Cranberry-Bush 
In the early fall its 
brilliant — scarlet 
fruits, hanging in 
large clusters, are 
most attractive. A 
shrub growing 8 te 
10 feet tall. 
V. opulus nanum 
Dwarf Viburnum 
A very dwarf, compact, 
round-headed shrub, not 
over 2 feet tall. Very 
VIBURNUM opulus sterile 
Common Snowball 
This old-fashioned shrub with its snow- 
ball-shaped clusters of white flowers is 
attractive in May. Having sterile flow- 
ers, it, of course, has no fruits. Chiefly 
valued for its blooms. 
V. tomentosum Single Japanese Snowball 
When in flower this is no doubt one of 
the most beautiful Viburnums. Large, 
flat white blooms on horizontal branches 
in June. Very showy and picturesque. 
Very fine, dark green foliage; grows 
about 8 feet tall. 
VY. tomentosum plicatum 
Double Japanese Snowball 
Same general characteristics as the pre- 
ceding variety, except that the flowers 
are double, forming a pure white round 
ba]l 3 to 4 inches across. Handsome 
variety that needs a little protection 
until established. 



useful as a low hedge or 
formal border.
