OVER A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING 
Flowering and Ornamental 
Shrubs 
“The beautiful lessons which ‘blossoms’ teach to children.”—Chaplin 
HERE is a place for flowering shrubs around every home—cottage, mansion or 
palace. A corner needs a little color, a foundation wall needs to be concealed, 
a oe should be screened. In all these places flowering shrubs are adaptable and 
useful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs possible to grow—large, 
well developed, with good roots, and not by any means like the shrubs sold on 
“bargain’’ counters, which in many cases are of unknown origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer 
shrubs are heavy and carry several canes. 
The size shown after each shrub name indicates the approximate height it should 
be expected to attain. 
ABELIA arandiflora. (See page 10.) 
Acanthopanax 
ACANTHOPANAX sieboldianus (Five-Leaved Aralia), 4 to 6 ft. An interesting and 
very satisfactory shrub for planting in a shady place or under city conditions.

abe a troublesome situation, poor soil, shade or other adverse conditions give this 
shrub a trial.

naturalistic plantings. Its bright red spikelike flowers are produced in May, fol- 
lowed by distinctive fruit. Leaves compound, 4 to 5 inches long. Foliage not 
always the best but well worth planting because of its striking effect when in bloom.

effective shrub when properly used.

Aronia - Chokeberry 
~ ARONIA arbutifolia brilliantissima (Brilliant Chokeberry). 3 to 5 ft. A uSse- 
ful shrub combining good habits of growth, attractive summer and fall 
foliage, showy flowers and brilliant fruits. The medium size leaves are 
glossy green, turning bright red in the fall. The white flowers in early 
May are followed by fruit which becomes brilliant red in the fall and is 
very persistent. One of our best berry-bearing fruits. Will grow in sun 
or partial shade but requires ample moisture.

Berberis - Barberry 
BERBERIS thunbergi (Japanese Barberry). 3 to 4 ft. Low, compact shrub 
with horizontal or arched branches. Twigs thorny, making it ideal for 
an almost impregnable hedge when mature. If left unpruned it will de- 
velop into a graceful, moundlike plant. The small green leaves come out 
early in the spring, along with the small yellow flowers. The foliage 
takes on a brilliant orange-scarlet when in the open and the flowers are 
followed! by brilliant red fruit which persists throughout the winter. Will 
grow in almost any location.

B. thunbergi atropurpurea (Red Leaf Barberry). 3 to 4 ft. Resembles the 
Japanese Barberry in growth, but the foliage is brilliant blood-red in 
spring. The color holds all summer in sun, but in shady pilaces it be- 
comes a beautiful bronzy green. Its winter charm is enhanced by red 
berries that remain until spring. Few shrubs attract so much attention, 
or add so much color to a dull border. We consider it one of the best 
plants, and our stock is strong and vigorous.

There should be a place for these continuous summer-blooming shrubs 
around every home. Their long, pointed spikes of various shades resemble 
a Lilac though they are in no way related. Easy of culture. Often freeze 
to the ground unless protected, but will come back year after year. 
BUBDLEIA, Charming. Soft pink; very desirable. 
B. magnifica. Violet. Best of the older varieties. 
B., Ile de France. Rosy violet-purple. Vigorous and floriferous.
