Flowering and Ornamental 
Shrubs 
“The beautiful lessons which ‘blossoms’ teach to children.’”—Chaplin 
HERE is a place for flowering shrubs around every home—cottage, mansion or palace. 
A corner needs a little color, a foundation wall needs to be concealed, a garage should be 
screened. In all these places flowering shrubs are adaptable and useful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs possible to grow—large, well devel- 
oped, with good roots, and not by any means like the shrubs sold on “bargain” counters, which 
in many cases are of unknown origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer shrubs carry several canes, and only 
the small sizes can be sent by parcel post. 
The size shown after each shrub indicates the approximate height it should be expected to 
attain. 
ABELIA grandifiora. (See page 8.) 
Acanthopanax 
ACANTHOPANAX sieboldianus (Five-Leaved Aralha). 4 to 6 ft. An interesting and very satisfactory shrub for 
planting in a shady place or under city conditions. Branches upright, prickly, arching and bearing bright 
green leaves in fives. If you have a troublesome situation, poor soil, shade or other adverse conditions give 
this shrub a trial.

Aesculus 
AESCULUS pavia (Red Buckeye). 6 to 10 ft. A southern shrub, recommended for naturalistic plantings. Its 
bright red spikelike flowers are produced in May, followed by distinctive fruit. Leaves compound, 4 to 5 
inches long. Foliage not always the best but well worth planting because of its striking effect when in bloom.

Aralia 
ARALIA spinosa (Devil’s Walkingstick). 10 to 15 ft. A large, vigorous shrub 
or small tree giving semi-tropical effect. The stiff, erect, very prickly stems 
bear compound leaves which may be two feet or more in length. The leaflets 
are small, giving a feathery effect to the whole plant. Small white flowers in 
July or August. A very effective shrub when properly used.

ARONIA arbutifolia brilliantissima (Brilliant Chokeberry). 3 to 5 ft. A use- 
ful shrub combining good habits of growth, attractive summer and fall foli- 
age, showy flowers and brilliant fruits. The medium size leaves are glossy 
green, turning bright red in the fall. The white flowers in eary May are 
followed by fruit which becomes brilliant red in the fall and is very persistent. 
One of our best berry-bearing fruits. Will grow in sun or partial shade but 
requires ample moisture.

Berberis - Barberry 
BERBERIS thunbergi (Japanese Barberry). 3 to 4 ft. Low, compact shrub with 
horizontal or arched branches. Twigs thorny, making it ideal for an almost 
impregnable hedge when mature. If left unpruned it will develop into a 
graceful, mound-like plant. The small green leaves come out early in the 
spring, along with the small yellow flowers. The foliage takes on a brilliant 
orange-scarlet when in the open and the flowers are followed by brilliant red 
fruit which persists throughout the winter. Will grow in almost any location.

B. thunbergi atropurpurea (Red Leaf Bar- 
berry). 3 to 4 ft. Resembles the Jap- 
anese Barberry in growth, but the foli- 
age is brilliant blood-red in spring. The 
color holds all summer in sun, but in 
shady places it becomes a_ beautiful 
bronzy green. Its winter charm is en- 
hanced by red berries that remain until 
spring. Few shrubs attract so much 
attention, or add so much color to a 
dull border. We consider it one of the 
best plants, and our stock is strong 
and vigorous.
