THE ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS (Cont.) 
Plum, Double Flowering--a large grow- 
ing shrub especially appreciated for 
its very double pink blossoms. This 
shrub is commonly mistaken for 
Flowering Almond, but is far superior 
in color, hardiness and shrub form. 
It blossoms before any other shrub 
in spring, in fact before it leafs out.

Pussy Willow--this shrub is a large 
growing bushy type of small tree 
with catkins larger by several times 
than the native Pussy Willow. It 
makes a good plant for screen 
purposes where the ground is low. 
The branches offer a wide variety 
of interesting possibilities for floral 
and interior decoration.

Rose, Hansa--one of the hardiest of 
the bush type roses. This rose 
blossoms heavily with large red 
flowers, very double, and makes a 
very good shrub of medium height. 
The foliage is a thick waxey green, 
deeply veined, which gives it a rich 
- appearance. The red seed pods which 
follow the blossoms, add to the 
attractiveness of this very useful 
shrub. ;

Rose, Grootendorst--not quite as hardy 
as the Hansa, this rose, neverthe- 
less, has a very important place in 
the bush rose family in this area 
because it blooms profusely all 
summer, in clusters of small double 
blooms. Occasionally the top is 
killed back by Minnesota winters, 
but it comes back in the spring. 
Blooming on new wood, it never 
misses a blooming season.
