BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS —continued 
PITTOSPORUM TOBIRA 
Depends more upon its constant beauty of foliage than its flowers to attract and maintain 
admiration. The flowers are small, white, and fragrant, but the well-rounded bush, with its 
polished, dark green leaves are its chief claim to your attention. 
PYRACANTHA 
(Firethorn) The colorful clusters of bright berries carried all winter by this famous evergreen 
make it one of the high spots in our fall and winter landscape. Pyracantha grows rapidly, 
and if left untrimmed it will reach considerable height, but it may be trimmed readily into 
hedge form or into formal columnar shape. Because of the thorns on the branches pyracantha 
makes an almost impenetrcble hedge. Available in red or orange berried forms. 
VIBURNUM BURKWOODI 
(EVERGREEN SNOWBALL) 
A new form of viburnum which ex- 
ceeds all others in beauty. '!n ihe 
spring, when the new leaves are un- 
folding, the pink buds open up into ie a i 
beautiful balls of exquisitely fregrant ; LuVY aie 
white flowers. Their scent will fill A oe tae 
your whole garden. The plants grow 
about 6 feet tall and 4 or 5 feet across, 
with handsome, dark green foliage. 
Not completely evergreen, since most 
of the leaves will have fallen by 
spring. Perfectly hardy everywhere. RED-LEAF BARBERRY 
Hedge Plants 
A great many shrubs may be used to good effect as hedge plants. Because of the popu- 
larity of ligustrum we sometimes forget other possibilities which might better suit your 
own grounds. To help you in selecting the plant which will give you the greatest satisfac- 
tion, we list here a group of 12 species described elsewhere in this catalog, all of which 
make excellent hedges. For hedge planting, where larger numbers of plants are used, we 
can frequently offer attractive discounts from single plant prices.
