ground each winter. 
Charming—pink. 
Dubonnet—dark wine. 
Eleanor—three-quarter blue. 
Ill de France—purple. 
SIBERIAN PEA (Caragana arbores- 
cens) 6-10 feet. — Caragana has 
been used a long time where rath- 
er adverse conditions exist. It 
will survive extremely dry and 
hot weather and withstand poor 
soil conditions. And is besides a 
truly beautifully shaped shrub. 
Its symmetry is often quite strik- 
ing. One objection to it, as an 
ornamental, is that the foliage 
drops early, and perhaps that is a 
trait which makes it so durable. 
PEKING COTONEASTER (Coton- 
easter acutifolia) 4-6 feet. It is one 
of the best standard shrubs. The 
foliage is a shiny dark green. It is 
of upright or slightly arching 
habit. 
HIBUSH CRANBERRY (Vibernum 
americancum) 6-10 feet. — This 
shrub is one of the best screen- 
ing shrubs or for use in a border 
planting. The large clusters of 
bright red berries are a principal 
asset and are indeed very showy. 
RED TWIGGED DOGWOOD (Cor- 
nus alba siberica) 6-10 feet.—This 
is fine for accent in winter color 
in a border of shrubs. 
GOLDEN ELDER (Sambucus cana- 
densis aurea) 6-8 feet.—Here is 
another plant used for accent in 
summer color. 
FORSYTHIA (F. spectabilis) 3-5 
feet.—Forsythia is not entirely 
hardy, but is often worth having 
for its very showy yellow flowers 
in early spring. 
ZABELL’S HONEYSUCKLE (Loni- 
cera zabelli) 8-10 feet.—It is a 
new red flowered variety, and the 
foliage does not become disfig- 
- ured with mildew like the old va- 
riety does so commonly. 
HYDRANGEA, HILLS OF SNOW 
(H. arborescens) 2-4 feet.—This 
is the one with the large flat 
clusters of white blossoms in June 
and July. 
HYDRANGEA PEE GEE (H. pani- 
culata erandiflora) 2-4 feet.—This 
variety has large cone shaped 
white blossoms turning pink. 
Both varieties of hydrangea 
should be pruned heavily each 
year for best blooms, and both 
tolerate considerable shade, but 
also require a _ position where 
moisture is held well. 
PERSIAN LILAC (Syringa chinen- 
sis) 7-10 feet.— This lilac is a 
shrub with slender arching 
branches. The foliage is finer than 
the common lilac and the blos- 
soms of reddish purple in huge 
trusses. It does not sprout from 
the root. 
FRENCH LILACS (Syringa vulgar- 
is in variety) 8-12 feet.—The gor- 
geous colors in which these va- 
rieties come make them in much 
demand, and their popularity is 
surely warranted. 
Ludwig Spaeth—-single red. 
Emile Lemoine—single pink. 
Jeanne de Arc—double white. 
HUNGARIAN LILAC (Syringa jo- 
sekea) 8-12 feet.—The plant ema- 
nates from one or two stems or 
trunks at the base making the 
branching habit more or less tree- 
like. The bark is a pretty brown, 
the flowers link, the foliage 
heavy. We use it in landscape 
work where a very dwarf tree 
is desirable. 
LEMOINE MOCK ORANGE (Phila- 
delohus lemoinei) 3-5 feet.—This 
is a finely branched, small-leaved 
mock orange, with attractive and 
fragrant white flowers. This is 
another of the half-dozen best 
shrubs of this size. 
“MINNESOTA SNOWFLAKE” 
MOCK ORANGE (Plant Patent 
536) 4-7 feet.— We have replaced 
the popular Virginal Mock Or- . 
ange with this one, as it is super- 
ior in every respect. The flowers 
are very double, pure white, ex- 
ceptionally fragrant, and the bush 
is more branchy and holds its fol- 
iage better than Virginal.
