and the gardenia-like fragrance is so sweet as to pervade a large 
area. The plant grows about 6 feet high and 4 to 5 feet in diameter. 
It likes a well drained, sunny place, with plenty.of moisture. This 
is a new jewel for the garden—a real aristocrat. For the small 
garden, where there is room only for the choicest shrubs, the one 
Viburnum above all others that.should be grown, is Viburnum Burk- 
woodi. Foliage brilliant in autumn, shiny dark green all summer.

fine compact ond low hedge which requires no care. 
Opulus Xanthocarpum (Apricot-Fruited Cranberry Bush) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This makes a handsome bush 5 to 7 feet high. It is particularly attrac- 
tive from July to December after when its beautiful blossoms are re- 
placed by immense clusters of 14-inch apricot-yellow fruits. The clus- 
ters of berries are many and heavy, and create a beautiful show against 
the rich green foliage. The heavily fruited branches may be cut for 
indoor decoration. They combine stunningly with Gladioli, Dahlias, or 
Chrysanthemums. The clusters of fruits retain their beautiful apricot- 
yellow tint for six weeks or more. Easily grown, hardy as an oak. May 
be planted in fall or spring. The plants we ship are about 3 feet tall.

justify the family. It is a superb flowering shrub and the spectacle of 
a good Tomentosum in bloom is a sight not ever to be forgotten. In early

clusters ringed with dazzling white flowers, with spidery sunburst cen- 
ters, resembling a fall of snow. Ultimate height 8 feet.

than this when well grown.
