An upright, yet somewhat spreading shrub with graceful 
spreading branches reaching 5 to 6 ft. Leaves 1 to 2 in. long,

five-petaled flowers in nodding clusters of two to five, follow- 
ed by conspicuous black berries 1/2 in. long.

Cranberry Bush; Viburnum opulus 
The parent of the Common Snowball, and like it in growth, 
but the white flowers are in flat clusters in May. The center 
flowers, which produce the berries, are small, with an outer 
ring of showy flowers like the individual flowers of the Snow- 
ball. The bright scarlet cranberry-like fruits, 3 in. long, color 
in early August., remaining well into winter when not eaten 
by the birds. Endures partial shade; attains 8 to 12 ft.; prune, 
if necessary, after blooming.

Crape Myrtle; Lagerstroemia indica 
Its clusters of flowers 34 to 114 in. across, the petals crin- 
kled like crepe, are borne in profusion throughout latter sum- 
mer in clusters 3 to 8 in. long. Foliage up to 2!/, in. long, lus- 
trous dark green. As important in the South as Lilacs in the 
North. May be grown here if mounded in winter like you 
protect everblooming roses. If the top winter injures, cut back 
to sound wood and the new growth will bloom first summer. 
Crape Myrtle is rather difficult to transplant. Often it re- 
mains alive but does not break into growth for a long time. 
Soil banked about it, a flower pot or pail inverted over it, 
often causes more rapid budding, due to moisture about the 
tops. With usual nursery care we have little trouble. As suc- 
cess depends largely on care given, we will guarantee good 
condition when shipped but cannot assure growth. Color, 
Watermelon Red.

Forsythia 
Crape Myrtle 
Deutzia 
Desmodium, Purple; Purple Bush Clover; Desmodium 
penduliflorum; Lespedeza formosa; Desmodium Sieboldi 
In late August and September, when few other shrubs are 
blooming, Desmodium is very showy, its branches somewhat 
arched with drooping clusters 3 to 9 in. long (sometimes ex- 
tending 2 ft. along the branches) of rosy-purple flowers near- 
ly ) in. long, like tiny peas. Its delicate-textured foliage con- 
sists of three rather small medium deep green leaflets. Grows 
3 to 4 ft. high, the clump throwing up more shoots each 
spring; freezes back in winter; should be pruned to the 
ground each spring.

Dogwood, Bailey’s; Comus Baileyi 
After the leaves have fallen this shrub lights up the shrub- 
bery border with its dark red branches, more intense with the 
approach of winter. Flat clusters of small fuzzy, cream-white 
flowers in spring; grows 6 to 10 ft. high. Pruning to the 
ground early each spring will reduce the height and give 
more young branches which are of better color. Succeeds in 
well drained soil, in sun or partial shade.

Forsythia; Golden Bell 
One of the first shrubs to let us know spring is here, with 
its abundance of four-petaled, somewhat bell-shaped golden 
flowers often 1 in. long, swinging in small clusters all along 
the leafless branches in March, sometimes during mild Febru- 
ary days, occasionally extending into April. Very free from 
insects and diseases. The leaves remain green till late fall. 
Prune soon after blooming, to keep the bush compact and the 
height desired. Suitable for partial but not dense shade; of 
easy culture in any well drained garden soil.

Forsythia spectabilis. One of the best upright Forsythias; 
pure, rich yellow flowers, sometimes 1]/ in. across; better 
color and blooms more freely than most varieties.
