ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS—Continued 
SHRUBS 3 to 5 feet 
BURNING BUSH, Winged Bark - Among 
the smaller shrubs this one is 
one of the half-dozen best. The 
corky wings of bark are interest- 
ing and the shrub is slow enough 
growing that it does not grow out 
of place quickly. The foliage 
colors bright red in the fall. 
MOCK ORANGE, Lemoine - This isa 
finely branched, small leaved 
variety, with attractive, fra- 
grant white flowers in June. This 
is another of the half-dozen best 
shrubs of this size. 
NINEBARK, Dwarf, is a fine textured 
shrub, upright or slightly spread- 
ing in habit, making a neat sym- 
metrical appearance. It is really 
a first class shrub in every re- 
spect. 
SPIREA, SNOW GARLAND This is the 
earliest Spirea to bloom,the shrub 
becoming a mass of snowy garlands 
before the leaves’ appear. 
WEIGELIA, Bristol Ruby (Pat. 492) 
This shrub makes a nicely rounded 
specimen. The foliage is dark 
green and quite heavy.The flowers 
are in evidence thru most of the 
summer and are garnet-red. 
SHRUBS 5 to 7 feet 
ARROWWOOD - In our landscape plan- 
ning we use this plant frequently. 
It is entirely hardy, is of up- 
right habit, has attractive ru- 
gose foliage and clusters of pur- 
ple berries. 
COTONEASTER, PEKING, is a trin, 
dressy, glossy leaved shrub, very 
fine for planting where there is 
little shade to bother it. Its 
habit is upright and somewhat ar- 
ching. 
ELDER, Golden - Here is a good spr- 
- eading plant for accent in summer 
‘color. : 
NANKING CHERRY makes a fine orna- 
mefiital shrub, and is at the same 
time valuable for its fruit. The 
flowers are light pink, produced 
in great profusion.It also fruits 
heavily,the cherries being bright 
red or orange-red in color and 
very good for sauce or jelly. 
’ NANNYBERRY (Viburnum ientago) This 
shrub has glossy, leathery leaves 
and is a somewhat loose shrub of 
upright habit. Clusters of white 
flowers appear in June, then pur- 
ple berries the rest of the sum- 
mer. The fall foliage color is 
very attractive and showy. It is 
more suitable for border workthan 
against the house, usually. ~ 
NINEBARK, Common- Along with Arrow- 
wood and Persian Lilac this is one 
of the "work horses" of the infor- 
mal border. For small properties 
where a border of only medium 
size is desirable, 
works in well.

planting problem with which you would like help, 
MOCK ORANGE "MINNESOTA SNOWFLAKE" 
(Pat. 536) We have replaced the 
popular Virginal variety with 
this new one,as it seems superior 
to it in every respect. The fl- 
owers are large, white, double, 
and very fragrant. 
PERSIAN LILAC - This Lilac is a 
shrub with slender, arching bran- 
ches. The foliage is finer than 
that of Common Lilac, and the fl- 
owers are reddish-purple in huge 
tresses. It does not sprout from 
the root objectionably. 
PLUM, Double Flowering (Rose Tree 
of China) - The very beautiful 
dark pink blooms in early spring 
have made this a favorite. 
' PURPLE LEAF PLUM (Prunus cistena) 
This shrub is a rather upright. 
grower,thereby not requiring lots 
of room, and adds a splash of 
color for the border planting. 
SPIREA, Bridal Wreath - The arching 
branches well loaded with clusters 
of white bloom have made this a 
favorite for a long time. 
WAYFARING BUSH (Viburnum lantana) 
The branches and foliage of this 
shrub are rather coarse textured. 
It produces brilliant red berries 
in July and August. There is an 
individuality about this shrub 
which we like.
