beauty. Bushes may be pruned to hedge form (and they make a 
nearly impenetrable thorny hedge) or placed in a position of promi- 
nence as solitary specimens. They also make good espaliers against 
a wall. The shrub has good, evergreen foliage, and a mass of lacy 
white flowers in the spring, but of course its crowning glory is the 
incredibly heavy crop of red berries it holds all winter long. See 
illustration below. Gal. $1.50 up, 5-gal. $3.50 up

orchid pink blooms. Really fine. Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.50

lowed by black berries. Bushy, medium-sized plants and dark green 
leaves. Gal. 90c, 5-gal. $3.50 
Viburnum laurestinus — Dark green foliage, densely placed on a

(Xylosma senticosa) An excellent foliage plant, with light green, ex- 
tremely glossy leaves. May be used as a ground cover, trimmed as 
a low shrub or espaliered on a wall. New growth shows an attrac-

with the heavier, darker and more somber greens. Plant in full sun. 
Hardy and evergreen. Gal. $1.00, 5-gal. $4.00
