Viburnum Snowball | 
Burkwoodi (New English Hybrid) 
Bushy plants, 3-4 ft. Each $6.00, Three $16.00, Doz. $60.00 
Bare root, 2-3 ft. Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
Bare root, 18-24 in. Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
A most amenable new shrub thriving in sunless places and smoky 
towns. Waxy blush-white and delicately fragrant, the flowers of 
this new Viburnum are produced in early spring when the leaves are 
unfolding. They form round, domed clusters, and the Gardenialike 
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 
location with plenty of moisture. This is a new medium sized shrub 
—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 Burkwoodi. Foliage brilliant in autumn, 
shiny dark green all summer. 
Carlesi Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
Waxy white, deliciously fragrant flowers in early spring when the leaves 
are unfolding. This fragrant Snowball is a great favorite. It is very 
hardy, easily grown and does well in light shade, as well as in full sun. 
Opulus Nanum (The Hedge Viburnum) 
Each 90c, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25, 100, $50.00 
A dwarf, stubby plant never over two feet high, particularly well adapted 
for edgings and hedges in wet or heavy clay ground where it is difficult 
for other plants to thrive. Does well in light shade. It is extremely hardy. 
Can be clipped or left natural as desired, in either case it grows into a 
fine compact and low hedge which requires no care. 
Dilatatum 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 particuarly attrac- 
tive from July to December after when its beautiful blossoms are re- 
placed by immense clusters of 12-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 deccration. 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. 
Setigerum (Theiferum) Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
In the autumn and late summer this shrub is literally covered with 
clusters of brilliant red berries and is one of the outstanding show 
pieces in the garden at that time. We know of no other shrub that is so 
showy and so easily grown. White flowers in early summer and clean, 
deep green, large leaves. This Viburnum belongs in the list of elites. Its 
average height when fully grown is about 10 feet. 
Tomentosum Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
If all the other Viburnums were thrown into the discard, this one would 
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 
June the horizontal branches become perfect mosaics of wheel-like 
clusters ringed with dazzling white flowers, with spidery sunburst cen- 
ters, resembling a fall of snow. Ultimate height 8 feet. 
Tomentosum plicatum grandiflorum 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This new strain of the Japanese Snowball has its pure white flowers 
arranged in a perfectly round ball, 3 to 4 inches across. Its clean foliage 
is quite similar to the Tomentosum. Much neater and in every way 
superior to the common Snowball which is usually covered with aphids. 
It makes a commanding specimen and there are few shrubs handsomer 
than this when well grown.
